Storytelling Shows

£240 for up to 120 children

Dramatic stories are brought to life by our skilled storyteller, using set, costume and props, with all the children involved as actors, chorus and sound effects.

For the very youngest children, we have created STORYTIME SPECIALS - a re-telling of a favourite tale with full audience participation. These can be adapted to suit any age group (see below). Ideal for BOOK WEEK.
