Perfect for children from babies to eight-year-olds, the interactive experience promises to transport visitors 'into the magical world of The Three Bears, Jack and his Beanstalk, the spider Anansi, and many more'.
Families are invited to dress up as fairy tale characters as they follow the trail of breadcrumbs through the story town, exploring nine well-loved tales that originate from England, France, Germany, Ghana and Norway.
Each interactive section includes a number of different activities including the chance to build your own house with a choice of materials at the Little Pigs Builder’s Yard, challenge the hapless Jack to a game of beans in the market or try a delicious meal at Hansel and Gretel’s café.
The exhibition has been designed by Discover Children’s Story Centre in collaboration with illustrator David Litchfield, creator of the award-winning The Bear and the Piano, and author Ross Montgomery, who has worked with David on the picture books The Building Boy and Space Tortoise.
