Come and Create: A Fairytale World

A fun free story writing and art workshop for ages 3+ (parents and guardians must remain with all children under 16)

Be part of writing a new fairytale in a fun collaborative storytelling workshop where you create the creatures, characters and magical world in a group led activity. Once the scene has been set and the world imagined, you can help design what your princes and dragons, forests and witches might look like by creating drawings and collages to add to our community fairytale world mural in the gallery.

This workshop is being run in association with Brighton University Creative Writing MA Student Talia Nash.

No need to book simply come along to the session start time, during busy periods you may have to wait for the next session.
