Star Anise Arts Café

storytelling

Star Anise is as child friendly as you could wish for. We offer a range of healthy snacks, juices and meals as well as story books, toys and drawing equipment.

We also encourage Mums and Dads to bring the children along to storytelling on a Saturday morning when they will be treated to an experience like no other!

Jo Allan creates a magical atmosphere that both kids and parents find most enjoyable.

Come along and sample the atmosphere!

Pssst! It's also helpful if we are all a little bit still & quiet for Jo during the story. She likes that!

Saturday mornings from 11.00am
Jo Recommends!

" I follow the inspiration of each time and always aim to bring heart, humour and variety to each storytelling: the children tend to be quite young (3-5yrs) so anything too scary needs to be tailoured to the specific children there.
The great Grimms tales are always a rich resource, but also most stories published be NorthSouth books or Barefoot Books are beautiful tales.
At home we're reading a lot by Michael Morpurgo. More for older kids, but gripping and rich."
