Storymakers
Wednesday 8th April | 9-3pm | Snacks Provided
A full-day holiday drama workshop designed for children aged 7- 12 years who love to move, imagine, and explore stories beyond four walls.
Across the day, children will play with how stories travel through open spaces. They’ll experiment with calling, whispering, projecting, and listening as they discover how their voices, bodies, and ideas shift outdoors. Through playful drama games, group improvisations, and creative challenges, children will explore where their stories feel strongest, under trees, across open fields, or tucked into quiet corners and who might be listening.
The workshop encourages confidence, collaboration, and curiosity. Children are supported to take creative risks, tune into each other, and respond to the environment around them. There’s time to move, pause, notice, and reflect, allowing stories to grow naturally from the space and the group.
This is a gentle yet energising day that blends drama, imagination, and nature, offering children a chance to connect deeply with themselves, each other, and the world around them, all while having a lot of fun outdoors.
