Take me on a journey
“We had a wonderful time in the Story Museum. It is a unique and beautiful place, where you feel a real magic. The staff are very friendly, engaged and passionate about what they do.”
Visitor
"What a magical place! My child and I spent over 2.5 hours here at the end of half term. We went because of the Here Be Dragons exhibition but we loved the whole museum."
Visitor
"Took my 3 grandchildren aged 5, 6 and 8. They all loved this place and didn't want to leave. The storyteller kept the children enthralled. Favourite room was through the wardrobe into Narnia."
