Enter a world where every story matters.

This Autumn, Punchdrunk Enrichment invites Brent schools to take part in Fireside Tales, an immersive learning adventure that ignites in your classroom and ends in a magical theatre show at our Wembley Park venue. 

Our signature pedagogy takes learning objectives and wraps them in exciting narratives – an approach that is shown to boost pupils’ motivation and positivity for learning.

Through an engaging combination of live video, a workshop in your school, and an immersive theatre performance, pupils will be encouraged to value their own stories and celebrate the stories of others. When they step inside Punchdrunk Enrichment Stores, a shop dedicated to unlocking the storyteller in each of us, they’ll even become the heroes of the story themselves. 

Throughout the adventure, they will contribute their ideas to help the team on their mission. From cave paintings to campfires, from picture books to plays - there are a million different ways to tell a story, and we will explore them all.

Pupils will leave this experience valuing their role as brilliant storytellers with bold and exciting adventures to share with the world and fire the imagination of others.

This brand-new adventure has been created for Brent schools to celebrate the voices, experiences and stories of our local communities. We also welcome enquiries from schools in neighbouring boroughs, including Barnet, Camden, Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham, Ealing and Harrow, and will do our best to involve as many local schools as possible, either through the project or our schools performances during the public run.
