unique interactive storytelling performances
Wizard Stories is a professional, touring storytelling company. Founded in 2000, Wizard Stories is rooted within the Education Sector, delivering a powerful portfolio of interactive educational workshops and performances. We believe the power of stories can release creativity and fire the imagination within every child.
Wizard Stories’ range of unique interactive storytelling performances is highly participatory, with a strong focus on speaking and listening. Our sessions encourage each child to formulate their ideas, give them the opportunity express them as part of an audience and reveal clear and simple strategies to support them on their own literary journeys.

Our passion for stories is infectious, we have secured residencies in the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Enfield, Haringey, Havering, Islington, Newham, Redbridge, Southwark, and Waltham Forest; forged powerful partnerships with Arts Council England, Boston City Council (USA), Creative Partnerships, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Groundwork Thames Valley, Hertfordshire County Council, Luton Borough Council, The Metropolitan Police, Mosaic, The National Gallery, Nat West Bank, Redbridge Drama Centre, Redbridge and Waltham Forest Health Authority, Shillam & Smith, SNAAP, Stratford Circus, York City Council, The William Morris Gallery, and Wiltshire County Council and Windsor Mountain Centre for Experiential Learning, New Hampshire (USA),
INTERACTIVE STORYTELLING.
Each Wizard Story is as unique as the group that meets to listen, imagine and create. All our sessions, run by professional storytellers, are highly interactive, fun and child-centred with a strong focus on learning. We make dramatic differences to literacy levels by fostering the idea that reading and writing stories are enjoyable, engaging and creative activities. Since 2000 Wizard Stories has engaged in thousands of storytelling performances, enthralling children and young people, inspiring a love of stories and imagination, proving the age old partnership between teller and listener - those moments when the air seems to thicken and time ceases to matter - still thrives. Even in this busy world full of social media chatter, the power of the spoken word and the skill of the storyteller prevail.
