If you’re a primary school in Brent, you can take part in an extended version of the project in Autumn 2025.

Designed to support literacy, oracy and wellbeing, this immersive learning experience begins in the classroom and ends with a performance of Fireside Tales. 

Pupils will take part in a live video interaction, a workshop in school, and an unforgettable trip to the show — all while exploring the power of storytelling and their role as storytellers.

We also welcome enquiries from schools in neighbouring boroughs, including Barnet, Camden, Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham, Ealing and Harrow.
