This page is for our special events - workshops, opening nights, all that exciting bookable stuff. We keep everything free to the public as a matter of principle - to do so, we occasionally run things like our Story Bocs crowdfunding campaign, starting soon over on Indiegogo. It would be a huge help if everyone who's joining us for some free fun could pop over and share our pre launch page, or sign up if you want to see what happens when we hit the launch button :) Thank you!

​A multi sensory art exhibition with pictures, stories and tactile art. We're also offering a simple workshop where you can add stories or drawings of your own to a community bocs. Everything is provided, just bring yourselves.
​
Story Bocs is a wondrous (and occasionally monstrous) travelling library of book shaped boxes with Things in. Every bocs (old English for book in case you're wondering) tells a different tale in a different way. There's always a story and an artistic element, some have moving parts or play recorded sounds. They are tactile and designed to be picked up and played with.
​
The library has a story all its own and to add to the adventure, we have created an archive of specially made ephemera including artwork, stories and artefacts revealing the lore.
