The Midnight Moth: A reading and activity

Join Katy from DEAD GOOD CIC for a gentle, creative workshop for families as part of the Afterlives Festival.

Together, we’ll share a reading of The Midnight Moth, a beautifully lyrical picture book about darkness, fear, light, and remembering. Then, through simple, imaginative activities, children and their grown-ups will be invited to create a small, nature-inspired memorial ceremony and object for the Midnight Moth character.

Using drawing, storytelling and natural symbols, families will explore what it means to say goodbye in a way that feels calm and creative.The Midnight Moth sessions make space for curiosity, connection and imagination.

What to expect:

Why come?
Children are naturally curious about life, death and everything in between. This workshop offers a safe, imaginative way to explore those ideas, helping families build confidence to talk about big feelings in small, meaningful ways.

Who it’s for:
Families with children aged 4–11 (siblings welcome)

Session length:
45 minutes

Group size:
Small and informal (max. 8 children per session, plus their grown-ups)
