About

This Summer Holidays we're running another Telling Tales! A free storytelling and writing workshop that's Ideal for ages 6 - 11

75 mins of great games and fun prompts to get you making stories, writing & sharing.

Led by Chris (Library staff member, founder of Spork! Poetry and former Bard of Exeter)

These sessions are themed around journeys, travel and transport. Inspired by adventure stories like The Faraway Tree or Around the World in 80 Days , we'll be jetting off to imaginary lands, making up new methods of travel and messing around with words to make our own stories and poems come to life

A fun and hands-on session that's open to all, even if you don't normally like to write.
