Storytelling Week - RAF Mascots

12th to 18th of August is our dedicated Story Telling Week. Consisting of a series of interactive story the Museum’s professional story teller, Chip, will narrate tales about the various animals that have been adopted as mascots by various Squadrons within the Royal Air Force explaining why they were chosen. Sessions will be held three times a day at 11.30 am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm and last approximately 30 minute each.

As well as a tale, each session will also include songs and riddles that will help children explore the themes of teamwork, believing in yourself and never giving up on your goals: important lessons for any future member of the RAF to learn. Sessions are restricted to 40 children at a time, on a strictly first come, first served basis. To help each child get as much as possible from each session it is highly recommended that they are accompanied by a responsible adult who can assist them with some of the quizzes that will be taking place.
