At Storybook Studios, reading and storytelling are a key part of life, and we’re here to help your child discover the joy of books in their own way.
Children’s Classes in East Sussex
Our classes are designed for children aged up till 11 and take place at locations across East Sussex, including Crowborough, Rotherfield, and surrounding areas. Each session lasts approximately 1 hour, with longer workshops during school holidays for children who want to dive deeper into the world of stories.
All our staff are DBS checked and first aid trained, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for every child.
How We Explore Stories
We mix reading into every class, making books come alive through play, creativity, movement, and imagination.
Younger children follow themes and explore different books in every session, from Burglar Bill and Isadora Moon to Fantastic Mr. Fox and Horrid Henry.
Older children might focus on one book across several sessions, developing deeper understanding and engagement.
Our aim is simple: to make reading fun, immersive, and accessible, giving children the space to connect with stories in their own way.
Whether it’s through Story Kitchen cooking sessions, Story Yoga movement classes, or Story Sounds sessions, there’s a magical experience waiting for every child.
Come along, explore our classes, and help your child fall in love with reading!
Free spaces available!
We’re delighted to offer free spaces in each class, thanks to the fundraising efforts of The Story Foundation. If you’d like to find out more about this opportunity, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Our Classes
The Story Kitchen
Welcome to The Story Kitchen, where stories leap off the page and into the mixing bowl! Led by Lucy, this imaginative cookery group offers a magical way for children to engage with reading through hands-on cooking inspired by much-loved books.
From making Turkish Delight inspired by The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, to playful creations like Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans from Harry Potter or Green Eggs and Ham, children are encouraged to explore stories in a whole new way. By bringing literary ideas to life through food, books become exciting, memorable and delicious.
The Story Kitchen develops essential cookery skills while gently supporting literacy. Children follow recipes, listen to instructions, read aloud and learn new words, building confidence, comprehension and independence along the way. Cooking together also encourages teamwork, creativity and healthy curiosity about food.
Most of all, The Story Kitchen is about joy - a fun, imaginative space where reading and cooking come together in a way that feels playful, creative and a little bit magical.
Storybook Wiggle & Sing
Join Lana for an energetic, fun-filled Storybook Wiggle & Sing session designed especially for under 5s. Rooted in the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), each class blends music, movement and storytelling into a lively, interactive adventure. Children sing, play real instruments, explore lovely puppets, float bubbles, swoosh the parachute and enjoy a wide range of engaging resources.
Storybook Wiggle & Sing isn’t just great fun – it actively supports early development. Through songs, rhymes and repetition, children build vocabulary, develop an understanding of rhythm and language, and grow in confidence as communicators. Movement, music and playful exploration help to nurture creativity while laying important foundations for listening skills and later reading. All of this takes place in a relaxed, welcoming environment where little ones can learn, express themselves and enjoy discovering stories together.
Launching this June!
Storybook Yoga
Story Yoga is a calm, creative class where movement, mindfulness and storytelling come together in a magical way. Led by gentle guidance and imagination, children are taken on a journey through stories that are brought to life using simple yoga poses, breathing and movement.
As the story unfolds, children stretch, balance, move and rest, building strength, coordination and body awareness while supporting emotional wellbeing. Story Yoga encourages focus, listening and self-expression, helping children to slow down, connect with their bodies and explore stories in a peaceful, playful way.
Perfect for young children, Story Yoga supports confidence, creativity and emotional regulation, all within a nurturing and inclusive environment. There’s no pressure to “get it right” – just space to move, imagine and enjoy the story together.
