Daisy Chain Story
About this Event
Join Charlotte Yonge and other pioneering characters from local history for a vibrant and engaging family friendly walking adventure. Charlotte was known for her cutting-edge fiction for young people which, in the 1890s, were some of the first chronicle books, and we need you to help her create the next chapter in the chronicle!
Work together with our amazingly skilled performers as we embark on a journey to discover hidden stories of the past and create new stories of our own! Who knows what will happen?! Music, characters, plot twists and alternate universes are all up for grabs as we explore local woodland and parkland and create ‘the greatest story, never told!’
The walk will feature frequent stops as we meet more characters and enjoy creating the story together, so bring a rug to sit on and snacks to enjoy if you wish.
