La Befana Open Day

Befana Flyer da condividere

Join Us for a Magical Open Day!

On Saturday 31 of January, we will host the Open day of our italian language in person courses for kids with a special guest: la Befana.

We invite to this special event families and children aged 2 to 13 to join us for a morning filled with fun activities inspired by La Befana, the beloved Italian folkloric charachter who brings sweets to children who behaved well during the year.

La Befana’s visit is steeped in Italian folklore: she is a kind old woman on a magical broomstick, who travels from house to house on the eve of January 6 to deliver treats and surprises. This tradition celebrates the Epiphany and brings joy to children and adults alike.

At the Open Day, families can enjoy a lively and welcoming atmosphere filled with themed activities and games inspired by La Befana, engaging storytelling moments, and insights into our italian language classes. Children will also be delighted by fun surprises especially prepared for them, while parents can relax and enjoy the friendly community spirit of the event.

All activities are free of charge, but space is limited, so booking is required.
