Explore the hidden history of spices at Sefton Park Palm House through a drama performance, Christmas crafts, and gardening!This free after-school session aimed at children aged 7-9 is part of the Being Human Festival-funded ‘Spice Route Stories’ activity day, organised by the Research Institute for Literature and Cultural History at Liverpool John Moores University. Discover how spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves travelled the world and seeded hundreds of stories – including the forgotten story of Liverpool’s links with ginger.
Children will be led through a series of drama, crafts, and planting activities, but must be accompanied by an adult. As spaces for the session are limited, booking is essential (book one place per participating child – there is no need for accompanying adults to book).
This event is part of Being Human Festival 2025, the UK’s national festival of the humanities, taking place 6-15th November 2025. Led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, with generous support from Research England, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy.
