Age guidance: 9+
Step beyond the pages of a familiar fairytale and into a world where imagination leads the way.
In this writing workshop, young storytellers aged 9+ will explore the magic hidden inside classic tales, before creating stories of their own. Guided by the mysterious Thread Keeper and inspired by the world of Storywood, participants will discover that there is never just one version of a story—and that their own voice is the most important one of all.
Each workshop explores a different timeless tale, encouraging curiosity, creativity and confidence through imaginative discussion, creative writing, drawing and storytelling. Rather than retelling stories exactly as they've always been told, participants are invited to ask "What if...?", explore different perspectives, create unforgettable characters and discover where their own ideas might lead.
Every storyteller receives a beautifully designed illustrated journal to take home, filled with activities, creative prompts and space to continue writing long after the workshop has ended.
Whether we wander through the woods with Little Red Riding Hood, lose a glass slipper with Cinderella or fly beyond the second star with Peter Pan, every adventure ends the same way: Follow the Thread. Find Your Story.
