Bubbles & Books Storytime at Hammond Castle Museum

Description

Join us every Wednesday morning in July & August for Bubbles and Books on our seaside lawn. Fairytales do come true at castles by the sea!

Doors: 10 am / Stories begin about 10:20 am.

Start the morning with a bubble party featuring music, crafts, and a light snack. Around 10:20 am, we’ll gather on the ocean-facing lawn for storytime—bring a cozy blanket for your little one to cuddle up on while we enjoy tales by the sea.

This season, our Storybook Authors theme brings special guest readers whenever possible! Some of the wonderful books in our lineup include, but are not limited to:
-  The Fisherman’s Cat by Cassie Rita Austin
-  A Day in Gloucester by S.D. Kelly
- The Seagull and the Sea Captain by Sy Montgomery

After storytime, we’ll enjoy more bubbles and end the morning with a scavenger hunt around the grounds.

Don’t forget sunscreen, and we encourage little ones to come dressed in their favorite crown, cape, or whatever makes them feel magical!

Tickets for this event are $10 for ages 8 to adults, and kids ages 7 and under are only $5. Hammond Castle Museum Member savings apply. 

We recommend that you arrive 15 minutes early to allow enough time for the walk from the parking lot down to the museum, then for the check-in process and the walk to the lawn. There are many stairs throughout the campus and inside the Museum. Just to let you know, strollers and oversized baby carriers are not allowed in the Museum.

This ticket grants you access to the Bubbles & Books program, which will be held on the ocean-facing lawn. If you wish to tour the Museum after this program, ticket holders may purchase Self-Guided Tour tickets in the Museum Shop at a 20% discount.  Little ones 4 and under enjoy FREE admission to guided and self-guided tours! 

Rain or Shine. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.  All proceeds from this program will support the restoration and preservation of the Museum.
