Crescent Stories: Bringing History to Life - Tuesday 27th May
Step into the world of Crescent Stories — a fun, hands-on family event in The Assembly Rooms, where museum objects come alive through storytelling and creativity! In partnership with Buxton Museum, these interactive sessions invite families to imagine the lives of visitors who stayed at Buxton Crescent centuries ago.
Children and adults alike will enjoy hearing captivating tales that breathe life into real historical objects. Then, dive into a shadow puppetry workshop, crafting your own characters and scenes inspired by the stories you’ve just heard. It's a brilliant way to explore history through play, imagination and creativity.
This event is free to attend (although donations are welcomed to support the charity’s work). Perfect for curious minds who love stories, crafts, and uncovering the hidden secrets of the past!
Storytime with Susie Sloth – Strength, Stories and Superpowers! Saturday 14th June, 1-2pm
Join us for Storytime with Susie Sloth, an energetic and engaging session with children’s author Charlotte Marsh. Meet Susie Sloth and discover her “better breathing” exercises, blending storytelling with movement in a playful and health-boosting way. Children will enjoy Pilates-inspired play to strengthen their core muscles, learn calming breathing techniques, and get creative with colouring and crafts. Everyone takes home a Better Breathing Guide and a sticker as a fun reminder of their new skills! Tickets are £7 per child and can be booked via the website.
