Moss and Magic Storytelling

Join storyteller Jessie McMeekin for a special family tour of the gardens and grounds at Wordsworth Grasmere. There’ll be a fun craft to do, and biscuits and squash, then we’ll be out exploring. We’ll stop for stories in some of Dorothy and William’s favourite spots, spending time discovering the small details of nature that made this corner of Grasmere such a special place for them.

After booking, please email education@wordsworth.org.uk and let us know the number and age of the children you wish to bring, as well as details of any other adults planning to attend.

What else you need to know 

Some of these routes include steps and are not accessible for pushchairs.

No dogs unless they are assistance dogs.

Suitable for children aged 5+.

What to bring and wear 

Come dressed for the weather forecast – this event will go ahead if it’s raining!

Adults – bring a portable camping chair you can carry if you don’t like standing for long periods, we can provide sitting mats for children.
