A brand-new chapter is about to begin at Founders Park.

Celebrate the official opening of The Book Vault – a charming new second-hand bookshop nestled in the heart of the park. It’s a free, family-friendly event that invites readers of all ages to discover great stories, take part in creative activities, and enjoy a fun day out.

What to Expect:

  • Free face painting for kids throughout the day
  • Children’s storytime sessions held inside the historic Church
  • Bookmark colouring activity – no scissors required, just creativity
  • Book-themed scavenger hunt around the park
  • Dress-up fun – come as your favourite book character
  • Scoot & Ride – a nod to the nearby Pump Track
  • Sausage sizzle available as a community fundraiser

The day begins with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10:30am. Activities kick off from 11:00am and will continue until around 3:00pm.

Whether you're a keen reader, a young adventurer, or simply looking for something different to do on a Sunday, come along and help us celebrate the joy of books and community.
