Join us for a fairy tale-inspired storytime where two stories, rewritten by women from the Merseyside Women’s Liberation Movement in 1972, will be acted out and read aloud. Collectively written by Audrey Ackroyd, Marge Ben-Tovim, Catherine Meredith and Anne Neville and illustrated by Trevor Skempton, the stories were produced as a series of Once and Future Tales have been retold with surprising twists and endings. Rapunzel uses her hair to save herself from the tower, and Snow White unionises the Dwarves!

Come dressed as your own modern day fairy tale character and enjoy a twist on classic tales including Snow White and Red Riding Hood.

This family friendly event is free but please note, booking is required. Please book by selecting a performance time above. Each performance will last for one hour and begin at 12:00 and 14:00.
