Bookstart in Scotland Day

Scotland's Biggest Bookstart Rhymetime!

Bookstart Edinburgh's biggest celebration yet.

Bookstart in Scotland Day was Thursday 15th May, and Bookstart Edinburgh celebrated by hosting free rhymetime fun at the Hub, Castlehill, Edinburgh.

We enjoyed music, crafts and storytelling and a sensory corner, and refreshments and cake!
