Come and create your own adventure based board game or map out your own imagined world to take home. These sessions are perfect for holiday activities in libraries, arts or community centres. You can learn more about them here.
Nook & Cranny
Professors Nook and Cranny are curious. They want to find the formula in the fable, the alchemy in the allegory, and test tales. Incorporating drama, history, arts and crafts and literacy skills, the professors unpick and demystify the act of storytelling, making it an act for all. Delightfully silly, this double act is perfect for schools, libraries, festivals and family focused events! You can find out more about Nook and Cranny here

“Tom and Flick were fabulous. The story telling assembly was fun packed and the children absolutely loved it.
The teachers were amazed at what the children were able to produce in the workshop. Each class worked together to create, write and illustrate their own class book using natural and recycled materials. The best storytellers we have ever had!”
