Big Story Festival Workshops

25 - 26 October 2026

As part of the Imperial War Museums' Big Story Festival, we're inviting you to step into Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella with workshops led by New Adventures dance artists.

The workshops begin with a tour of the Second World War Galleries, followed by movement exploration through play and storytelling. There will be warmups, games and the chance to learn choreography from Cinderella, inspired by wartime London.

There are four workshops throughout the day, for different age groups.

  • 10:30am to 12pm — Family session: all ages welcome
  • 12:15pm to 1:45pm — Family session: all ages welcome
  • 2:30pm to 4pm — Ages 8 to 13
  • 4:15pm to 5:45pm — Ages 14 to 18  

These workshops are open to all levels of ability and mobility. Tickets are £10 and children under 14 must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult.
