Green Bean on Tour - Our Live Storytime Events are Back On and Fully Booked for 2021
After over a year of Covid restrictions, with retail closures and in-person events cancelled, the Green Bean team is excited that our Storytime events are now back on and fully booked for 2021!

Green Bean and Friends will be on tour this summer, visiting shopping malls and other venues across the UK (all in accordance with the latest Government guidelines for Covid-19 and taking the necessary precautions). Visitors will get to experience their favourite characters from the Green Bean Collection, with immersive storytelling from their author and founder, Anita Frost.

Aimed at children aged one to seven years old, the live events capture the sense of adventure and wonder from the books. By stimulating their imaginations, the events help children to develop, think creatively, and nurture a love of reading and learning from an early age.

One of the most enjoyable things about the storytime events is being able to engage with Green Bean fans within local communities. Children and their parents love the inclusive experience of being read to, sharing the joy and excitement from our stories together.

The events are a wonderful opportunity to bring people from all walks of life together, to enjoy shared experiences which inspire, entertain, and educate. Here’s what some of our fans have said after visiting a storytime event:

“We have attended some of the storytime sessions and my children love the enthusiasm the author reads with. The stories are great and relevant to toddler life. 

“My daughter loves Green Bean’s adventures. Such a fantastic company with a lot of imagination.”

“The books are beautiful, durable and have real longevity. Plus, the toys complement the books perfectly but can also be enjoyed by themselves too.”

Though we are fully booked for the rest of 2021, be sure to keep an eye out for our latest updates on events and exciting Green Bean news via our website and social media pages.
