Welcome to the world of the Story Godmother, where storytelling steps off the page and into shared imaginative adventure. Based in East Sussex, I bring stories to life through a warm, participatory style that invites children to listen, imagine, respond, and create together.

My Story Godmother persona adapts effortlessly to suit different themes and settings. I may become a Narnian Story Godmother, guiding children through the world of Aslan, or a Woodland Story Godmother, exploring beloved tales such as The Gruffalo alongside my own original myths and stories. Through immersive storytelling, I transform classic literature, traditional tales, and local history into engaging experiences that spark curiosity, connection, and a love of stories.

Interactive. Immersive. Inspirational

My interactive storytelling style encourages children to join in through actions, sound effects, games, expressions, and role play. Carefully chosen props and imaginative flair help bring stories to life, supporting communication, collaboration, confidence, and creative expression.

Sessions are designed to be welcoming and inclusive, working well with mixed ages and allowing every child to participate in a way that feels comfortable for them.

The Art of Bespoke Storytelling

I create bespoke poems, original tales, and abridged retellings of well-loved stories such as The Wind in the Willows, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and other classic children’s literature. Each story is thoughtfully shaped into a 20–30 minute interactive experience that preserves the heart of the original while engaging listeners in a manageable and memorable way.

Stories are chosen and shaped with care, sensitivity, and respect for families of different values and backgrounds.

Tailored Experience For Every Occasion

I create and retell immersive stories rooted in local folklore and Sussex’s rich history, helping children connect with places and the past through imaginative storytelling. Whether you’re organising a heritage event, hosting a festival, enriching a home education experience, or planning a special birthday, I bring stories to life in ways that captivate and inspire.

From guiding young adventurers through imaginative realms to uncovering hidden stories and historical mysteries connected to real places, my storytelling is full of wonder, warmth, and fun.
