Children’s Summer Holiday – Story Writing Workshop

Come and join us for a fun, interactive children’s story writing workshop led by the inspirational local teenage author Hephzibah Akinwale. After growing up and feeling that she wasn’t being seen in the books she read, Hephzibah was inspired to write her own novel ‘Chronicles of the Timekeeper’. By the time she had finished writing the book when she was ten, Hephzibah won the title for the longest fiction novel written by a child author. Get inspiration from our beautiful stained glass collection for your own story’s characters and setting before Hephzibah shares her own fantastic story writing secrets with you.

Suitable for children aged 7+ who must be accompanied by an adult. Please note: The Museum is located on an upper level of the Grade-I listed medieval Ely Cathedral. The entrance to the museum is via a spiral stone staircase of 40 steps from the south-west transept of Ely Cathedral. The stairs are fitted with a handrail. Unfortunately, there is no lift access to the Museum. The toilets are quite a hike from the museum, situated near the Lady Chapel in the Cathedral, so it’s advised that young people go to the toilet before the session begins.
