Storytelling for Events
If you are looking for entertaining storytelling for children or adults, I have a variety of storytelling options suitable for events, venues (inside and outside), festivals, community events, theatres, organisations and private functions.
All my stories can be tailored to suit you and your event.
So whether you want Traditional Storytelling, Interactive Storytelling Workshops or Creative Sessions which can include both stories and crafts, I have a variety of options which can be discussed.
I also accept commissions to write stories or help with the creation of story based events.
Please contact me for more information, I am very friendly and not daunted by the weird or wonderful.
Recent collaborations include Halloween stories for the Maize maze in Fordingbridge and Peter Rabbit Storytime for The Base, Newbury's 'The World of Peter Rabbit Storytime Trail'

for Festivals and Events
These short story sessions last approximately 20 minutes and can be scheduled to run throughout the day. They are perfect for all kinds of events inside and out.
All my stories have a strong interactive element and I am happy to tailor stories to suit your event or create new ones!
I have lots of stories ready to share and can provide either children's storytelling or family storytelling or both!

Interactive Storytelling Workshops
for 2-7 Years olds
My interactive storytelling workshops last one hour.
They are a fun introduction to storytelling using music, movement, drama and lots of imagination.
Based on traditional tales, classic books and Seasonal themes, these lively interactive workshops are a popular choice for family events.
If you have an event theme, I am happy to create a workshop to suit your theme.
My interactive storytelling workshops can also be a great addition for theatres and venues offering children's holiday workshops.
Children need to be accompanied by an adult.

Creative Workshops for 2-11 Year olds.
​
If you would like to offer a craft element at your event, these workshops are a great option.
Workshops can combine mask making, puppet making or junk modelling with storytelling and drama activities.
I have a number of different options available and can also tailor sessions to your venue or event.
Workshops generally last one hour.
I do have longer workshops available on request for children aged 7 and over. These can be a great choice for venues offering children's holiday workshops.
Children under 7 years will need to be accompanied by an adult.

Storytelling for Adults
Storytelling isn't just for children!
My stories based on folktales and fairytales, myths and legends are a great addition to any event or festival. So whether you would like some spooky storytelling around the campfire, or maybe you are looking for something fresh to entertain guests after dinner? I can work with you to create bespoke storytelling to suit any casual party or formal setting.
