Step into an interactive, storytelling playground where you shape the tale using your imagination and immersive technologies.

An immersive storytelling playground where children don’t just watch the story but become part of it.

Inspired by the story of The Magic Paintbrush and codesigned with Nottingham children, this experience combines storytelling and immersive technologies where the children help the story unfold. Ideal for families with children aged 5-10.

The Magic Paintbrush is a collaboration between Makers of Imaginary Worlds, The Melody Crafters, and Storyteller Mike Payton, with children from Foxwood Academy, Keyworth Primary, and Round Hill Primary. The Magic Paintbrush is supported by Immersive Arts funding.

This workshop is designed for parents or carers to stay and watch the creativity unfold. Tickets only need to be booked for children attending.
