A Story-Driven Pop-Up With A Purpose

 

Two Tales provides a dynamic space where children and families can step into stories and unlock the magic of reading together. This new initiative aligns with the Seven Stories mission: to make books tangible, accessible and alive.

Much like our Visitor Centre in Ouseburn, Newcastle, Two Tales is a place where literature leaps off the page and inspires visitors to see reading as an adventure.

Why Two Tales matters

For the last twenty years, Seven Stories has been a treasure chest of imagination – a place where books aren’t just read but experienced. We are regenerating the high street by transforming a vacant shop and delivering the following:

  • Reaching children and families, ensuring access to books for all
  • Boosting literacy and confidence among those with limited access to books
  • Celebrating the transformative power of stories, beginning with imagination
