Terrible Tales & Dreadful Decisions: Write Your Own Wicked Cautionary Tale
Show more
Join authors Lizzie Shannon-Little and Gerard Lewis for a playful, creative writing workshop inspired by classic cautionary tales – from Aesop’s Fables to Hilaire Belloc and their own darkly humorous poetry collection, The Tale of the Propeller Man and Other Stories.
Children will explore why warning stories are funny, frightening, and strangely irresistible, before inventing and writing their own wicked poems about dreadful decisions and disastrous consequences.
This interactive session encourages imagination, discussion, and creative confidence. It is best suited to confident readers and independent writers aged 8–12. Younger siblings are welcome to attend with adults and can take part through drawing, discussion, and imaginative play alongside the writing activities.
Expect laughter, mischief, and delightfully terrible ideas.
