  • Shed Of Stories (installation)

    Overnight a small mysterious shed appears. The doors are opened, words and stories tumble out, music and laughter begins to fill the air and then, as if by magic – children start to arrive.

    The shed is a multipurpose performance space.  Stories are told by the performer in a variety of ways both inside and outside the shed. Classic tales can be told as well as new writing and even improvised stories. Anything to suit your theme!

    Tales will be told at various intervals throughout the day.  Between story times the shed becomes a pop-up library where children and families can read together.

    Will there be dancing? Most definitely. 🕺

    Perfect for all ages, The Urban Picnic is a pop-up celebration of joy, nonsense, and community spirit – served with a side helping of fun facts about how we can reduce food waste and how small changes can make big differences.
