Sterling Home are supporting families across Central Scotland this Summer by partnering with Scottish Book Trust’s much loved Bookbug program to host a series of free sessions in their flagship Tillicoultry store throughout the Summer holidays. The collaboration aims to provide a fun and educational experience for children during the summer break when parents often find it challenging to balance work, childcare, and keeping their kids entertained.
Free tickets for all Sterling Home Tillicoultry Bookbug Sessions are available HERE
Sterling Home will invite families to their iconic flagship store in Tillicoultry to enjoy an exclusive series of Bookbug Sessions taking place on selected dates throughout the summer holidays. The first session will take place on Tuesday, 4th July, starting at 10:30am in the Mill Cafe located within the Tillicoultry store.
Each session will last for 30 minutes and feature interactive storytelling, rhymes, and songs that captivate children's imaginations and instil a passion for reading. Trained storytellers from Scottish Book Trust will conduct the sessions, creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for parents, carers and children to explore the magic of books together.
In addition to the much anticipated Bookbug Sessions, Sterling Home has organised a host of exciting activities throughout July and August to ensure a memorable summer holiday experience including mobile petting zoos, creative workshops and face painting. The Mill Cafe will also be running a fantastic “Kids Eat Free” promotion on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays where children aged 12 and under can enjoy a delicious hot meal for free.
To secure a place in the upcoming Bookbug Sessions, families are encouraged to register in advance through: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sterling-home-x-bookbug-summer-sessions-tickets-666741109607
Spaces are limited so early registration is encouraged to avoid disappointment, however there will be a limited number of spaces available for walk-ins on the day of each session.
Lee Johnstone, Store Manager at Sterling Home Tillicoultry said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with the Scottish Book Trust and their much loved Bookbug program. It’s such a special way for parents and carers to bring the magic of storytelling and joy of reading to their children."
“We understand the challenges parents face during the summer holidays, and we are dedicated to supporting them by providing meaningful activities for their children. Through our partnership with Scottish Book Trust, we are proud to offer the Bookbug Sessions as a solution to entertain and educate children, while fostering family togetherness.
“I am also delighted to introduce our Kids Eat Free promotion at our renowned Mill Cafe. This initiative aims to alleviate some of the financial pressure faced by parents during these uncertain times, enabling them to enjoy quality time with their children without worrying about the cost of meals.”
Scottish Book Trust is equally enthusiastic about the collaboration. “We’re excited to have Bookbug Sessions taking place in new venues this summer, including the Sterling Home store in Tillicoultry,” said Marc Lambert, CEO of Scottish Book Trust. “Bookbug Sessions are a fun way for families to bond, sing and play together, as well as meet other families in their area. Sharing songs and rhymes helps to develop children’s language and social skills, and you can always expect a warm welcome, and lots of fun, at your local Bookbug Session.”
