Seven Stories - The Centre For Children's Books

Some people say there are only seven stories in the world but a thousand different ways of telling them. Seven Stories is about the thousand ways.

Step Inside... Seven Stories, the Centre for Children's Books and explore ever changing landscapes which will inspire ideas and imagination.

Exhibitions

Seven Stories is the only exhibition space in the UK dedicated to the celebration of British children's literature. Our changing programme of exhibitions is designed to spark the imaginations of children and adults, and inspire exciting new work.

Weekend and Holiday drop-in family activities

There's always a choice of creative activities on offer throughout Seven Stories. Join in with dressing-up and dramatic fun, creative writing and wordplay, illustration and crafts.

Storytelling

Hear exciting stories new and old for all the family, as you travel to far off places, who knows who you'll meet! Bring stories to life with local storytellers A Bit Crack, on the first Sunday of every month in the Artist's Attic. Plus under fives and their families can catch Storytime everyday at 11am in the Bookshop.
