SUNDAY 17 Jan @ 3pm: Beatrix Potter and Friends

Join Caledonia Skytower and Marian Dragovar, along with Beatrix Potter, Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin and many of your old friends for letters from Miss Potter, stories about her (she was a very talented woman), and some of the beloved tales from childhood. Embrace your inner bunny, come as a furry to the Art Sculpture Garden in Fruit Islands for a fun hour.
