Summer Reading Challenge at Central Library, Manchester.

We can’t guarantee the weather this summer, but we can guarantee you’ll have fun on our Blue Peter Book Club Live Badge Trail!  Twelve special Blue Peter Book Club badges form a trail around the city and your challenge is to find them.  There’s even a bonus badge in the Blue Peter Garden in Media City!

Fabulous places have been chosen to host the badges.  While you’re there, why not take a look around and see what other family-friendly activities are on offer there this summer. Visit them in whichever order you fancy – or spread the visits out so you can spend some time in each one?

The venues which are part of the trail are:
