About
A free family-friendly drop-in space at People's History Museum with story generators, an emotions mirror, puppets and storytelling stations for ages 0-10.
The Storytelling Zone is a drop-in family space celebrating the power of storytelling, running daily alongside museum opening hours. Children can spin a story generator dice to spark ideas, express feelings in an emotions mirror, bring tales to life with puppets and props, and share their adventures at storytelling stations. Suitable for ages 0-10 with materials provided, it forms part of Manchester City of Literature's Festival of Libraries (10-14 June 2026).
