Detective Agency: Holiday Program

  • Family and kids
  • Workshop

A full-day story writing workshop of fingerprints, footprints and fun.

Someone put on another pot of coffee – it’s gonna be a long night. The office is aclickety-clack with typewriters, donuts lie half-finished in their box and a spiderweb of red string tethers photos to the pinboard walls. We’re in the detective agency! Whether we’re in 1940s black and white, noir-soaked America, or the sepia-toned cobblestone alleyways of Victorian England, or perhaps some place far more exotic, come along to Story Studios for a day of mystery, murder and missing things.

What debaucherous deeds have been done in the night and what kind of detective demonstrates the daring needed to discover them? Magnifying glasses at the ready – the rest is up to you!

For 10-14 year olds.
