Inspired by our new exhibition, Voices of Resistance, we invite families to explore the power of storytelling this summer.

Don't miss our storytelling sessions with Wendy Shearer (c) Slater King

A child is using masking tape to attach two straws together as she crafts and builds.

Through hands-on craft activities and storytelling sessions, families will discover how the art of storytelling is a way for people to express themselves, share their histories, and connect across generations.

What’s on: Summer Holidays

All activities are included with museum admission along with a ride on Mail Rail, our underground postal railway.

Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis and we kindly ask that grown-ups stay with their children while enjoying the fun together.

Mini Makers: Become your own Story Character

Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays
24 July – 30 August
10:00-16:00

Using recycled and repurposed materials, craft something magical to transform yourself into a story character real, imagined, or inspired by your own family history.

Drop in, get comfy, and bring your stories to life one creation at a time.

These craft sessions take place in the Mail Rail depot.
