Welcome to Castle Crawley! This summer the Winchester Discovery Centre is being transformed into Castle Crawley, home of the heroic Sir Crawley of Winchester. Sir Crawley will be our host for the Summer Reading Challenge in 2014 and will be helping kids aged 4–11 through the Mythical Maze as they complete their challenge. Children can join Sir Crawley on his adventures by completing the six book challenge earning stickers, rewards, and free tickets to special events along the way. The Reading Challenge is suitable for all abilities and totally free; children borrow and read any six books over the summer and collect stickers to mark their progress. To help them along their way every child who starts the Challenge can earn a Golden Ticket to one of our exclusive Summer Reading Challenge Events (subject to availability). We’ve also got a whole summer of fun workshops, storytelling sessions, film screenings and lots, lots more planned.
