The Magical Storytelling Theatre will be in Central Peel Circle. Families will be able to climb behind the curtains and hear stories come to life with the aid of magical puppets and special effects.
In Central Peel Square you'll find The Scottish Storytelling Yurt. Inside, Bun Brough will be showing you how to make your own story pebble and sharing her favourite tales for people of all ages.
Check out long-forgotten species
Upstairs at the Orlean's Band Stand – you'll be able to step back in history with an Iron Age Man – discover a primitive storytelling yurt, early tools and wooden musical instruments.
In Little Italy, there's a fairground troupe of players who will be entertaining passers by with stories. Pif-Paf's Fantastic Traveling Animal Troupe is the world's only exhibition of living specimens of extinct species. Trained handlers will allow you unique and close contact with a world lost to us.
