Space Chase, Summer Reading Challenge 2019

Space Chase is an out-of-this-world adventure inspired by the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.

Children taking part in the Challenge will join our super space family, The Rockets, for a thrilling mission to track down books nabbed by mischievous aliens! Space Chase will feature bespoke artwork from top children's illustrator, Adam Stower, and will celebrate adventure, exploration, reading and fun!

All children taking part are entitled to free admission to Bosworth Battlefield and Donington-le-Heath Manor House by showing their Space Chase folder at reception (one child per full–paying adult).

Children can join in the fun by reading or listening to six library books or e-books throughout the summer and will be able to collect six special stickers - including some smelly ones - for their colourful collector’s folder.

• 1st visit - Children will be given a book mark as they begin the challenge plus 2 sets of stickers.
• 2nd visit – They will be rewarded with a certificate, wristband and medal plus the third set of stickers when they complete the challenge.
• Extension reading – to encourage keen readers who may have completed the challenge quickly, there will be an optional reading challenge and certificate.
