The event is running from now until the end of the six week summer holidays
Hundreds of people turned up to an event to launch the Blue Peter Book Club and a free family trail that's running throughout this summer.
Visitors were also able to join CBeebies presenters George Webster and Gyasi Sheppi for 'magical stories' and enjoy fun shows with the Blue Peter presenters, as well as arts and crafts. A special trail map is available to guide curious minds to the various locations, where each badge will be decorated to celebrate one of 12 books in the Blue Peter Book Club. Each badge has a letter, find them all to create three special names and be in with a chance to win a prize.
Blue Peter Book Club Live will have 'a major presence on broadcast and digital'. A special episode is being shown on CBBC and BBC iPlayer at 5pm this Friday, May 24. It will air live from MediaCity UK and will be packed with book fun, authors, and a Biggest Book Club world record attempt.
