Family Workshop: Sensory Story Worlds

Join us for a visual impairment friendly Fairy Tales adventure at the Library.

Tuesday 11 August, 10.30 and 13.30

About Family Workshop: Sensory Story Worlds

Come on a magical sensory story walk through our Fairy Tales exhibition with storyteller and musician Paul Rubinstein. We'll explore palaces, enchanted forests and magical realms, encountering challenges, adventures, spells, and wishes along the way. Shape the story with your imagination, as we improvise a new fairy tale together.

We will begin in our Learning Centre before visiting our Fairy Tales exhibition. Experience storytelling, live music, songs and a range of tactile props, smells and sounds to discover and explore. Then explore different materials as we create an artwork to take home.

A dedicated sensory room is available and you will receive a described visual story in advance so you know what to expect. If you require any other access support, please e-mail outreach@bl.uk.

Please book one ticket per person in your group.
