Some people say there are only seven stories in the world but a thousand different ways of telling them. Seven Stories is about the thousand ways. A great day out for the whole family, visitors can explore the amazing world of children’s books where magical words and pictures are the inspiration for exhibitions, activities and events. Fostering the enjoyment of books and reading is at the heart of everything Seven Stories does.
