Our Mission

Our Commitment to Creativity

From our home at Derby Hall in Bury, we run year-round workshops for children, young people, and adults. This includes School of Curiosity, Curiosity Club, and adult storytelling events like Secret Storytelling Club. We also deliver workshops across the North of England, for a real mix of communities, always making sure our sessions are welcoming, accessible, and open to all.

We tour family theatre shows across the UK as well as make interactive work for festivals, libraries, and outdoor spaces.

We believe in a world where creativity & play connect communities together, building spaces where everyone feels safe to imagine.

At the heart of our work is the belief that storytelling and creative play supports wellbeing, builds confidence, and helps people feel connected to others and their community.
