Mythstories was a charity working with traditional tales, created as a website in 1998 it became a real life museum in 1999 and opened to the public until 2022. Here are some of our favourite stories with ideas for story-based activities for individuals, families and groups.

This website is no longer updated but the learning materials and stories are made available to all those free thinkers who will be able to readily adapt them for use in their educational journeys.
