Story Fest brings some animal magic to Alnwick
Have you ever dreamed of flying like a bird, prowling like a panther…or even breathing fire like a dragon?!
These are just some of the topics in an exciting children’s workshop that are part of Alnwick Story Fest.
The interactive workshop with writer Caroline Green will get you making up stories and imagining what it would be like to swap bodies with an amazing animal. Why not let out your wild side?!
The event is suitable for ages 6+ and on Saturday 25th February 12pm at The Alnwick Garden.
Caroline Green is an award-winning author of fiction for young people. Her first novel, Dark Ride won the RONA Young Adult Book of the Year and the Waverton Good Read Award. There’s A Dog In My Brain, her first book for 7-9s is out now. She is the Writer in Residence at East Barnet School and teaches writing for City University and Writers & Artists Yearbook and writer in residence for Pentonville Prison, London.
She is also hosting How To Talk To Ghosts in the Studio at Alnwick Playhouse on Friday 24th February at 8pm. Her new series of crime novels focus on a specialist supernatural crimes team – discover where she gets her inspiration and can you really talk to ghosts?
Alnwick Town Council has given its full backing to the event that takes place from Friday February 24th to Sunday February 26th by giving a £2500 grant.
Town Mayor Councillor Geoff Watson said “Story Fest has events for people of all ages, and Caroline is just one of a great range of authors, artists and film makers participating in the festival. Residents and visitors will have the opportunity to stretch their imagination and have some fun over the three days, it’s going to be great!”
