Scheduled dates
'The Being Human Parlour' is a quirky series of drop-in activities that will reboot your relationship with the world around us in wholly unfathomable ways. Activities include sensory-deprived and sensory-enhanced storytelling, have-a-go flash fiction, book tasting for babies (literally), body building (crafts), improv performances, and tag team readathons. Each event is aimed at different age groups, from 5 to 105, but everyone is welcome.
Reading can be isolating and even ableist. But it shouldn’t be. And ghost stories do not have to be terrifying – quite the opposite. So come along to 'The Being Human Parlour' to sit back and enjoy the show, or get involved if you want to!
