Tales From Past Times Story Telling

Stories Across the Centuries with Elka Evalds

Local children's author Elka Evalds brings a broad sweep of history into one hour at the Corinium Museum — Mesopotamian monsters, ancient Greek myths, and knights in shining armour, told live in the galleries.

The session is designed for ages 5 and up, and brave children are invited to come to the front and help tell the stories themselves. It's the kind of event that sits naturally in a museum housing Roman mosaics and Iron Age hoards: history made loud, immediate, and surprising.
