Night Lion with Ed Boxall

As part of this year’s Stoke Newington Literary Festival, join artist and illustrator Ed Boxall for a unique storytelling performance and practical workshop. Ed uses huge books of paper-cut-pop-up illustrations to tell his dreamlike stories of nighttime travels. The stories are told in the dark with atmospheric lighting. The experience is rather like gathering round an indoor-campfire.

Ed will perform his poem-story 'Me and the Night Lion' and then help children and grown-ups to make their own paper-cut silhouette pop-up scenes that can be illuminated at home with artificial tea lights. All materials are included in the price- including a tea light each! Places are limited please book at Cabbages and Kings before hand.

Children £5 each, accompanying adults are free. Children must be accompanied. All are welcome, but ideal for 5 to 11 year-olds.

Please contact jessica@ofcabbages.co.uk or call 0207 998 3282 to book a space.
