The Story Cellar at Tyntesfield

Join us for a visit from the Story Cellar, leading us on an interactive Tyntesfield story adventure.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Meet Albinia, one of the Gibbs family who lived at Tyntesfield, as she explores her new home. Together, you’ll discover the magical creatures who are hiding in the nooks and crannies and help Albinia solve the mystery of Tyntesfield once and for all.

You'll find interactive storytelling, magical creature creations, paper craft, puppetry, and games that is perfect for 3-10 year olds – but still plenty of fun for those older and younger siblings.
