The Emperor and The Nightingale - Interactive Storytelling Experience

  • The Museum in the Park Stratford Park, Stratford Road Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, GL5 4AF United Kingdom (map)

We’ve teamed up with Stroud Valleys Project to present this special event for families at The Museum in the Park - an interactive storytelling experience of Hans Christian Andersen’s tale, The Emperor and the Nightingale. Enjoy a classic fairy tale told in a new way, through interactive storytelling, as author, performer and artist Steven Skinley shares the magical narrative while dancer Marie-Louise Flexen portrays the Nightingale, inviting children to join in if they wish.

After the performance, children can take part in a crafting activity, designing and making their own magical bird mask to take home.

Most suitable for ages 5 to 10 years old (children must be accompanied by a parent/carer).

Booking is recommended as places are limited: £3 per family group, or free if cost is a barrier - contact Stroud Valleys Project (SVP) to book or if you have any questions.
