Blackpool Grand Theatre celebrated its links with local schools with the Tales Retold Storytelling Festival as part of the pioneering Story-Led Resilience Programme, welcoming more than 700 young story makers to share their tales on stage.
The Grand’s innovative drama initiative began in December 2020 and has helped schoolchildren from Blackpool primary schools to strengthen resilience and confidence as well as gain new skills and assurance in storytelling, drama and oracy.
