A huge thank you to the lovely Soph for hosting a fab Musical Storytelling workshop! 🎶📖✨

Our young storytellers explored how books can become so much more than words on a page, creating beats, sounds and their very own chorus inspired by a story!

Such a brilliant, creative session and a lovely way to spend part of our Summer of Surprises 💛

Thank you, Soph, for bringing the story to life in a whole new way! 🎵

Got a story brewing in your head? A character you keep thinking about in the shower? A Notes app full of dramatic little sentences? This one’s for you. ✍️

We’re welcoming Liam Marshall’s Creative Writing Club to Kingsley & Co for a relaxed evening of prompts, writing exercises, a drink on arrival and plenty of space to get words on the page.

No pressure to be the next Shakespeare.
Just bring a notebook, your favourite pen and your excitement to write!
