We are a simply storytelling service, telling tales and historical stories to our community for the past 10 years! We are specialists in physical theatre including traditional storytelling, puppetry, mime, music and masks! We are here to wow audiences at a fraction of the cost, giving them creative, magical experiences to inspire imaginations and connect them to their culture through stories.

We can deliver a series of stories from our hand picked collection of tales, we devise and create stories through verbatim theatre, keeping faithful to authors and original ancient fairy tales passed down through the generations. We actively promote reading as a way to encourage imagination and help to enhance comprehension, complex scenarios, creating empathy with characters and considering different viewpoints whilst reflecting on the human experience.

We tell tales in schools, for community groups, in museums and galleries and for organisations and councils, we also offer training for adults wishing to learn the art of storytelling and puppetry, we also work with diverse groups including SEND and those living with dementia.
