Discover Children's Story Centre to Stage Immersive Family Show READY STEADY GO! and More

Race down to the all new look DISCOVER CHILDREN'S STORY CENTRE this Half Term (24-28 October 2016) and learn to drive in this immersive family theatre show READY STEADY GO! - grab your tool kit, choose your car colour and drive! Plus DISCOVER's STRATFORD LIBRARY TAKEOVER - a daily line-up of beloved children's authors and illustrators including Nick Butterworth, A.F. Harrold, Chris Haughton and Gareth P.

READY STEADY GO! - is a live creative musical storytelling art show, that invites all the audience to individually colour their own cut-out car.

Then drive your unique car home!

A Line Art's Anna Bruder and Arji Manuelpillai say: "Ready Steady Go! brings together all of our favourite things. Family, colouring-in, cardboard cars, music and a whole heap of laughter." Having met at the Young Vic, their acclaimed theatre work with young people, children and adults has been enjoyed worldwide - and they've even designed the set for Jimmy Choo's 2015/16 shoe collection launch! A Line Art now brings their inspiring creativity to DISCOVER.
