Dare you stay in the Library overnight?? Join us for a Doctor Who adventure night!

Watch two fantastic Doctor Who episodes - 'Silence in the Library' and 'Forest of the Dead'.

Make your own Journal of Impossible Things, take a torch-lit tour of the Library, solve the mystery of the missing TARDIS and then sleep in the Historic Reading Room - if you can!

Come dressed as your favourite Doctor Who character - the best costume will win a very special prize. Who will you be?!

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Activities are most suitable for families with children aged 8-14, all welcome.

A picnic area will be available in the Café, no food or drink is allowed in the Historic Reading Room. Café Rylands will open early on Saturday morning for breakfast.
