The Beacon – Lister Park
Share Your Story: On Board at The Beacon
National Literacy Trust in Bradford
The Bradford Stories Bus is coming to The Beacon for a one-day story spectacular.
We’re teaming up with our friends at the National Literacy Trust in Bradford to bring the magic of storytelling to Lister 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 free drop-in story workshops and activities for children aged 5–11. Could you be a poet – or would you rather be a rapper? Would you like to write a novel – or are you hoping to create your own comic book? Whatever your tastes, we’ve got your ticket into a world of stories. Simply come along and share your story.
