Children's Families gather inside the tent next to concessions for book readings.

A book reading for children occurred on site at Cathead Distillery, at the edge the grassy space on their west end of the premises where they hold events. The books read to the children and their families were books from the "Paddington Bear" book series for children, which was read over the loudspeaker.
