About

Immerse yourself in the Story Book of Eastbourne with the author Annalie Seaman and illustrator Ellie Fryer in this drop in creative workshop. Have a go at creating your own Storybook Zine and journey through time with the objects that inspired the stories.

Discover eleven stories, thousands of years apart. A cast of hundreds. One town.

An Ice Age elephant struggles with a warming climate, a Welsh slave girl has her faith tested in an Anglo-Saxon village, and a bootmaker’s son grows to old age as the Victorian era brings prosperity to the town. Each of these fictionalised stories introduces a piece of archaeological or historical evidence, and asks: what does this tell us about human life

Suitable for all ages
