STEPHEN SKELTON

STORYTELLER FOR HIRE

once upon a time...

engaging

Over the last Ten years, I have become established as the most unique and engaging Storyteller in the North East, and my many character's, have become extremely popular.  It is significant that in the many schools I have worked with the children can remember all the stories I have ever told them – It has been said that I can enthral a group of children like no-one else!

Just Add a sprinkle of imagination

My stories are varied and are never read from books or scripts. I specialise in Pirate tales, Lighthouse keeper lunch, Grace Darling, Katie Morag, The Gruffalo, Alice in Wonderland and seaside past and present. My stories link with KS1 & 2 stages of the national curriculum. Other stories come from all times and places; folk tales; spooky tales; myths and legends from all around the world, and many stories of my own on a wide range of subjects. The work I do aims to encourage listening and speaking skills, concentration and an understanding of narrative.​

Take Anywhere

I cover all areas of the North East from Northumberland to North Yorkshire. I've also been known to travel further afield.

Get in touch now to see if I can bring my magical storytelling to a town near you!

Sessions can be booked by the hour, half day or full day.

There is nothing more valuable than nurturing a love of stories in children to encourage reading, writing and self expression. No one does this better than a good storyteller.
