We’re teaming up with our friends at the National Literacy Trust in Bradford to bring the magic of storytelling to Bowling Park.

Join us on board the Bradford Stories Bus, a classic American school bus transformed into an inspiring space for reading, writing and storytelling.

On Board at The Beacon features a full day of story workshops and activities for children aged 5–11. Could you be a poet – or would you rather be a rapper?
