FORTY Hall is holding a children's story-telling session in its historic grounds next week.

The Edwardian mansion, in Forty Hill, will entertain visitors with tales inspired by its colourful past next Thursday from 11am to 3.30pm.

There will also be creative workshops to allow listeners to try their hand at crafting their own literary masterpieces.

The storytelling lasts around around half an hour and the workshops are one hour.

Youngsters aged three to five are asked to go at 11am and children aged five to seven at 2pm.

Places are limited so families are advised to book in advance. For more information email forty.hall@enfield.gov.uk or call 020 8363 8196.
