The next Stories in Transit workshop is taking place on Friday 26 June, at St Leonard-at-the-Hythe Church (Hythe Hill Colchester, Essex CO1 2NP), 12-5pm, as part of the 2026 Essex Book Festival.

Stories in Transit is an ongoing workshop series, inviting participants who have lived experience of migration to imagine and create fantastical stories together. Together with artists, musicians, animators and writers, stories that emerge through play, games and walks are developed and performed.

Tickets: Free, places limited, booking essential. Reserve a spot here..
Some participants will be invited to attend via a number of local organisations who we are partnering with on this event.

This event is kindly funded by The Bean Trust.

Philip Terry, Sophie Herxheimer, Gemma Brockis and Hannah Machover will be joining Marina at St Leonard-at-the-Hythe Church in Colchester. Find out more about Stories in Transit here.
