SUMMARY:The Bear and the Bee: World Bee Day Event for EYFS and KS1
DESCRIPTION:Live online storytelling | Gentle\, playful and age-appropriate \nBarnaby the Bear loves honey – but love alone isn’t enough. \nWhen Barnaby tries to take honey without asking\, the bees respond\, and Barnaby quickly learns that how we ask matters. His promise to do better next time offers a simple\, powerful lesson for young listeners. \nDelivered live by a professional storyteller\, this session supports social skills\, empathy and respectful behaviour\, with no preparation needed and an easy fit into the school day.

SUMMARY:Folklore and Future on the Settle-Carlisle
DESCRIPTION:We open with something rather special – a live recording of Dave Goulder performing his own song\, ‘The Settle and Carlisle’. Dave was a passed fireman on the line\, meaning he was licensed to drive. Three minutes of guitar and voice\, and you’re right back there. \nThe first presentation\, on Wednesday 27th May\, brings you the real stories of the railwaymen who kept this line running – people like Derek Soames and Jim Taylor\, whose ingenuity and dedication were\, frankly\, extraordinary. Brought to life by Peter Fox’s original cartoons and drawings\, a retired deputy headmaster and lifelong railway enthusiast. \nThe second\, on Wednesday 3rd June\, takes you back to the time when the whole line – not just Ribblehead – faced permanent closure. This is the story of how it was saved\, told by someone who was there\, with access to people and places that simply would not be possible today. \nTwo presentations by local historian Bob Swallow. Come on your own or bring a friend. There will be a warm welcome\, a good story\, and plenty to talk about afterwards.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: StoryLab: Craft Your Story In Six Weeks (April '26 Intake)
DESCRIPTION:StoryLab: Craft Your Story In Six Weeks\nNOW SOLD OUT  \nOnly 1 place remaining. \nMost people struggle with storytelling for the same reason. \nNobody taught them the mechanics\, so their stories drift. They over-explain. They start too early\, end too late\, and miss the moment that actually matters. People nod politely. Nothing lands. That’s not a talent problem. It’s a craft problem. \nStoryLab exists to fix that. \nThis is practice-based. Not theory. \nSix weeks. Same people. Same Zoom room. One story\, built properly from Week 1 to Week 6. No inspirational fluff. No “just be authentic” nonsense. You’ll craft your story both ways: written (~1500 words) and told aloud (5-7 minutes). Same story. Two forms. Real craft. \nThe six weeks:\n\nWeek 1 (April 15): Getting them to lean in \nWeek 2 (April 22): Raising stakes and tension \nWeek 3 (April 29): Structural frameworks \nINTEGRATION WEEK (May 6) – Time to write and practice. No session. \nWeek 4 (May 13): Scene craft \nWeek 5 (May 20): Character\, voice and conflict \nWeek 6 (May 27): Cut to the chase\n\nBy Week 6 you’ll have: \n\nOne complete story – written (~1500 words) and told aloud (5-7 minutes without notes)\nSix professional techniques you can use on any story after this\nYour Story Bank framework for building the next one\n\nThis only works if you show up.\nYou’ll write between sessions. Practice aloud in small groups. Give and receive feedback. \nTeaching is recorded and available for 7 days\, but this isn’t a “watch it later” experience. \nIf you want passive content\, there are cheaper options. If you want skill\, this requires participation. \nWho this is for:\nStoryLab is for people ready to stop circling storytelling and start doing it properly. \n\nWriters who want their work to land in the body\, not just on the page\nPeople preserving personal or family stories before they disappear\nAnyone who uses story as a tool – teaching\, leading\, communicating\nThose who know they have stories but haven’t learned how to shape them\n\nYou don’t need a story chosen in advance. That’s what Week 1 is for. \nWhat You Get:\n\n6 x 90-minute live sessions (3 weeks + integration break + 3 weeks)\nSmall\, consistent cohort – maximum 12 people\nDirect teaching + guided practice in breakout groups\nOne complete story in two forms: written and told aloud\nSix techniques you’ll reuse for the rest of your life\nTeaching recordings (available 7 days)\nStory Bank method for ongoing work\n\nNo certificates. No gold stars. Just skill. \nA note from Sita:\n“I’ve spent four decades telling stories – in prisons\, on stages\, in funding rooms\, and in the moments that actually matter. What I know for certain: storytelling isn’t magic. It’s method. \nThe same techniques work whether you’re writing for the page or speaking aloud. Whether you’re crafting a memoir piece or pitching an idea. Whether you’re preserving a family story or telling the truth about your life. StoryLab isn’t about becoming ‘a storyteller’. It’s about learning how story works\, so you can use it deliberately\, ethically\, and well. Six weeks. One story. Written and told. Real craft.” \nDates & investment\nWhen: Wednesdays\, April 15th\, 22nd\, 29th + May 13th\, 20th\, 27th  \nTime: 7:00–8:30pm GMT  \nWhere: Live on Zoom  \nSize: Maximum 12 (1 place remaining) \nEarly bird (by March 28th): £217 Standard: £247. Payment plans available. \nQuestions welcome. But fair warning: this is for people ready to practice\, not just think about it. \nNot sure yet? There’s a 2-hour Finding Your Story workshop on 7th April. Think of it as Session Zero – try the framework\, experience the teaching. If you want to continue\, the early bird StoryLab rate applies automatically. \n
