Secret Door: Holiday Program

  • Family and kids
  • Workshop

A full-day writing workshop beyond the luminescent keyhole.

An entire summer of endless boredom awaits in this unremarkable, old guest-house. At least the rain has stopped and you can explore the grounds. The garden is mostly dead and the pathways all go in circles, except for that weathered brick path that seems to lead straight into a wall. Wait… You peel back the curtain of decayed vines and reveal – a secret door!

Welcome to a day of secrecy and wonder at Story Studios, where you'll unlock the mysteries beyond the walls. Where does the door lead? Who has the key? And once you step inside, can you ever return? The answers, characters, conflict and worlds within are up to you during this day of story writing enchantment.

For 8-12 year olds.
