Story Quest

About

Story Quest is a project delivered by the National Literacy Trust through Stoke Reads funded by Sport England and in partnership with Street Games. Story Quest encourages families living in Stoke on Trent to get outside together and take part in free adventure story trails around their local green spaces and neighbourhoods.

 

Trail Locations

There are eleven Story Quest trails located across Burslem, Tunstall and the surrounding areas, for families to enjoy:

- Burslem Park (x2)

- Tunstall Park (x2)

- Central Forest Park

- Ford Green Hall (x2)

- Westport Lake

- Tunstall town centre

- Burslem town centre

- Middleport Pottery (new location, trail to be released in October 2020)

- Hanley Town Centre *Christmas Special Edition*

 

What do the trails include?

Each story/trail has its own booklet. These consist of:

- A child-friendly map of the trail location

- Stories linked to the culture and heritage of the local area

- Both physical activity and literacy challenges throughout to help children engage with the story and location

- Suggested reading lists and additional activity ideas

 

How can families access the trails?

Sign up online at www.storyquest.org.uk to gain access to digital copies of the trails

Once families have signed up online, physical copies of the booklets can also be collected from Tunstall Library as part of their click and collect service. These packs also include a free book for families to enjoy. Families can also contact the Story Quest team to arrange collection/delivery.
