Storytelling session at Calke Abbey
Dig deeper into the hidden world beneath your feet, with storytelling and hands-on crafts inspired by 'Wonder World: Earth'.
Join us in the Riding School for an immersive storytelling and craft session inspired by 'Wonder World: Earth' by Ben Lerwill and Xuan Le, published in collaboration with the National Trust. Discover the hidden life beneath the soil as the story is brought vividly to life.
Each sessions lasts two hours, with around 45 minutes of storytelling followed by plenty of time for creative crafts and colouring. Activities can be enjoyed on site or taken home to continue the fun later.
These sessions are suitable for families and children of all ages, offering a relaxed and engaging way to explore nature’s underground world together.
All craft materials are included, and copies of the book are available to purchase from the shop.
Booking is for all children attending the event. Up to two adults can accompany each child - there is no additional cost for accompanying adults.
Please note:
- Standard admissions charges apply to non-members on arrival.
- Please meet at The Riding School
- Cushions, low benches and chairs will be available. Feel free to bring a blanket or folding chair to get comfy, and dress warmly as the Riding School can feel cool.
- There is level access into the Riding School via the restaurant courtyard which has a mixture of compacted stone and brick paved paths. The floor surface inside the Riding School is smooth concrete. It is a large space lit from above, and can be echoey at times. We will only be using half of the space for the purposes of the event. Sensory bags available which include ear defenders and fidget toys.
- Fun for all the family but most suitable for children aged 4-8.
- Assistance dogs only.
