Ages 8 - 10

One of our most popular storytellers, Vanessa Woolf brings to life two wonderful folk tales, The Stolen Smell and The Feast by the River.

Expect to be transported back to ancient Prague in this interactive storytelling session full of magic, music, and objects to look at, hear, touch... and maybe even smell!

Suited to ages 8 - 10 and their families.

The event accompanies the British Library's Fairy Tales exhibition (https://events.bl.uk/exhibitions/fairy-tales), which will be open on the day. Separate booking required.

Part of Jewish Culture Month, 16 May to 16 June, 2026.
