Children's Story Telling Festival
Held over the middle weekend of the July school holidays
The event is designed for school aged children 4yrs – 14yrs
Following on from the success of the first Telling Tales in Balingup in 2010 the event has gone from strength to strength, and each year has seen children enjoy and benefit from an affordable and creative weekend.
Many published WA authors and illustrators present interactive workshops throughout the weekend. Multiple sessions on offer at any given time allow you to select a session which best suits you and your children. Children may also be able to learn the art of book binding and decorating, and take home their very own book.
The parade is a real hit with the children, who are able to 'dress up' as their favourite story character and join in the fun.
The parade takes place on Saturday from 12.30pm – 1.30pm.
Adults may of course accompany the children to the workshops, and also enjoy a coffee in the cafés or browse the many interesting retail outlets. Balingup is renowned for its fabulous events and is sure to host a weekend worth attending.
Another fabulous Telling Tales event is now over and the children who attended all had a great day. We also received positive comments from the presenters. There were a few good suggestions made which will be implemented in order to enhance future events. We look forward to seeing you all again.

The kids had the best days ever, everything that we went to, the story telling, creative writing, book binding. My husband and myself were just amazed at how well they were run and how good everyone was with the kids. We will definitely be back next year without a doubt. We are also highly recommending it to everyone from all over WA.
