Storytime at Fenham Library
Drop in with your under-five for stories in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere at Fenham Library. Explore the children’s books while you are there.
Things to do with kids in Fenham
Fenham offers a manageable mix of books, music and community activities without heading into Newcastle’s city centre. On Fenham Hall Drive, the library has stories for under-fives, Lego and board games, while St James and St Basil’s brings early-years music and a quiet garden stop into the same part of the neighbourhood. FAR Community Centre on Acanthus Avenue gives school-age children their own juniors and inters groups. Pick one session as the anchor for your visit: term-time timetables and individual dates matter more than a building’s general opening hours.
Share stories, Lego and board games at Fenham Library, sing with little ones at St James and St Basil’s, or find a school-age group at FAR Community Centre. The Memorial Gardens offer a quieter pause.
