Family learning is fun for parents, carers and their children. But all relatives are welcome to come along to any of the events. Booking is not required, just turn up on the day.

Dads are particularly welcome. Nasima Mughal, Family Learning Co-ordinator said, "Often dads want to be involved in helping their children to learn, but need some support to help them get started. The events in Family Learning Week will show dads, mums and other family members how much fun they can have learning with their children."

"We hope the week will fuel families' interest and encourage them to continue learning afterwards."
