Storytelling for Families
1.30pm, and 2.30pm
Deep beneath the Bank of England there is a vault full of gold. Impenetrable they say…no gold has ever been stolen…but does that mean that no one has ever broken in?
Join us for the tale of a gold vault break-in at the Bank of England. Could it be true, or is it a work of fiction…? We’ll let you decide!
Children aged 7 to 11 are invited to join our resident storyteller as storytelling, drama and role-play bring to life different aspects of the Bank’s history and provides an opportunity to learn more about some of our key roles and responsibilities.
Each storytelling session lasts approximately 20 minutes and children need to be accompanied by an adult. The event is free, but booking is essential. Please arrive 10 minutes ahead of your session start time.
