CREATIVE LEARNING ADVENTURES
Nurturing Curiosity, Creativity, and Confidence Through Story, Play, and Learning
Creative Learning Adventures offers dynamic, creative workshops and activity sessions for home-educated children and families, schools, heritage sites, attractions, festivals, events, and community groups across Sussex. I create bespoke, engaging experiences that inspire curiosity, spark creativity, and make learning fun, meaningful, and memorable.
Whether you’re a home-educating parent seeking enriching, values-led learning experiences, a school looking to complement the curriculum, a heritage venue wanting interactive storytelling, or an event organiser seeking something unique to captivate families, Creative Learning Adventures is here to help.
For home-educated children and schools, my workshops support essential academic skills while also exploring big-picture ideas such as kindness, choice, empathy, creativity, and wellbeing. Sessions are designed to nurture the whole child — encouraging confidence, curiosity, and thoughtful engagement with the world around them.
For heritage sites, attractions, events, and festivals, I design bespoke sessions that align with your theme, audience, or key dates, such as World Book Week, Mental Health Awareness Week, or seasonal celebrations. From hands-on creative activities to immersive storytelling and themed workshops, I offer experiences that engage children and families of all ages.
Based in East Sussex, I bring warmth, creativity, and flexibility to every project, working closely with families, communities, and organisations to meet their individual needs. My work is values-led and shaped by a belief in the inherent worth of every child. Let’s collaborate to create something imaginative, meaningful, and memorable.
FANTASTIC FANTASY
Unleashing children’s creativity by collaboratively creating stories and bringing them to life! They might re-enact pivotal scenes from history or favourite books or create and perform a docu-drama on a key historical character or event. They will try storyboarding adventures, fantasy, science fiction or mysteries and embrace the thrill of improvisation. It’s all about imagination, honing dramatic and presentation skills and developing self-awareness and confidence.
MINI-MINDFULNESS
Empowering children to navigate life with calm and confidence!
Mini-Mindfulness helps children learn ways to handle the stress and fears that lead to anxiety, restlessness, and difficulty focusing. It teaches simple, practical techniques and activities, such as finger-touch breathing, peaceful visualisation of happy moments, and grounding drama exercises such as ‘be a tree.’ Children will gain tools to help them feel relaxed, centred, and in control, improving their overall wellbeing and resilience.
NATURE DETECTIVES
Stepping into nature’s playground! Investigating the wonders of the natural world opens a door to never-ending discoveries and activities for children to enjoy. From identifying cloud formations or the slow and fascinating journey of a snail, to creating forest mobiles or bug hotels. It’s about uncovering the secrets hidden in every leaf, stone, feather, and footprint and being creative with natural resources.
WORD WIZARDS
In this workshop, children become young writers as they create wondrous worlds, quirky characters, marvellous mysteries and twisty tales. From playful poems to lively limericks or even loving lyrics, they’ll discover the magic of language and the endless possibilities of their imaginations.
But it doesn’t stop there! Together, we’ll explore exciting ways to share their work and collaborate with friends.
DRAMA-FIT
Blending physical activity with creative expression!
Leaping like dolphins, swaying like trees or surging forward and backwards like the sea. These are some of the activities children will enjoy in Drama-Fit as they channel their energy into imaginative movement and mime.
They’ll transform into animals, inanimate objects, or natural forces, all while honing spatial awareness, coordination, and control. It’s a fun, full-body workout that also builds self-expression and boosts confidence
ENGAGING EXPERIENCES
I offer bespoke workshops designed to match a particular theme or celebration at an event or attraction, or particular topics, themes and developmental goals. Whether its historical heroes, science fun, friendship, emotional wellbeing, monsters and mermaids or online safety, I’ll create a plan that ignites curiosity, encourages interaction and creates fun alongside learning. Each workshop will be as engaging as it is educational.

“The children had a fantastic time using their topic of female spies in WW2 to create a drama about Diana Rowden and her friends which they performed and had filmed.”
