Feedback from the Telford tall tales project 2025 so far:
'Absolutely amazing. Both my daughters (8 & 11) attended the summer week-long workshop and Absolutely loved it. They could not wait for each day and are still talking about it. Every child there received lots of attention, support and praise. Loved the final performance. So much better than school plays and children all had a role they enjoyed’.
