About

This May Half Term we're running another Telling Tales! For ages 6 - 11

75 mins of great games and fun exercises to get you making stories, writing & sharing. Led by Chris (Library staff member, founder of Spork! Poetry and former Bard of Exeter)

This session is themed around The Faraway Tree, and so (of course) we'll be creating crazy characters, imagining new lands, and playing around with language to make our own stories and poems come to life

A fun and hands-on session that's open to all, especially if you don't normally like to write. Also - in this session, you'll have the chance to be part of an audio instillation we're creating in the Library (if you like)

Places are free, please book 1 ticket for each child attending. Grown-ups should ideally stay for the session and join in
The session will take place on the 2nd floor of Exeter Library in the Rougemont Room
