Under the Starry Sky — sensory stories at the Scottish Storytelling Centre
Our view
“Sensory, hands-on and explicitly relaxed — a good first theatre-style outing, especially if your little one doesn't sit still.”
About this outing
A sensory storytelling session about birds and animals at night, with storyteller Ailie Finlay and artist Catherine Lindow from My Kind of Book. Children join in with actions and props to squish and shake, then make dens for their birds and beasties in a relaxed art session. Suitable for all ages and particularly welcoming for children with additional needs. Part of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival family programme.
Sun 11 Oct 2026, 11:00, 60 minutes, Storytelling Court. One child ticket covers up to two adults free; extra adults £8. A £1.25 handling fee per ticket applies (capped at 4 tickets).
