Saturday 21 November 2026, 12:30-2:00pm, 2:00-3:30pm, 3:30-5:00pm
Find out about the Ancient Greeks and how myths helped them make sense of the world around them, nature and relationships, as well as carrying warnings and lessons for life. Travel on incredible journeys and experience weird and wonderful adventures alongside Gods and mortals. Learn how Greek myths have inspired artists, writers, musicians, film directors for centuries – including Frederic, Lord Leighton himself.
This is a fun and creative workshop where families will also listen to stories read by author Vicki Psarias-Broadbent from her book ‘Greek Myths, Folktales and Legends’ (Scholastic), create their own Greek myth retelling and explore Leighton House looking signs of the Ancient Greek world of storytelling.
