A SPECIAL event featuring storytelling, woodland earth walks, tree trails and crafts will take place in North Worcestershire.

Into the Woods is coming to the Bishops Wood Centre near Stourport on Sunday, February 8, from 2pm to 4pm and has been organised by the Friends of Bishops Wood group.

The activities will pay tribute to the new Disney film Into the Woods and the traditional tales of Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk, on which the film is based, will be told.

John Rhymer, secretary of Friends of Bishops Wood, said: “We were planning a tree and woodland event for February but when we heard about the new Disney film we decided to pay tribute to the film and the origin of the stories on which the film and the Sondheim musical of the same name are based.

“We are delighted that storytellers from Wyre Forest University of the Third Age are coming along to tell their own versions of these ancient folk tales.

“Together with walks and trails and craft activities there will be something for people of all ages."

There is a suggested donation of £3 per adult and £2 per child with concessions available for people on benefits.
