Storytelling Chair

Storytelling is an integral part of every child's learning experience. Tales and yarns handed down from the distant past contain important lessons and expand a developing mind's view of the world as well as invoking the imagination with fantastical creatures and heroic deeds, vast landscapes and gnarled woodlands.

Extremely popular with schools and outdoor education groups, our storytelling chairs provide a wonderful focal point for performance and play. At home in the school hall and especially suited to outdoor use, the chairs are stages from which dreams take shape and mystery fuses with the curriculum to help achieve your pupils' learning objectives.

These sturdy teaching tools are designed to withstand the elements and will add an aura of mystery to any outdoor education session. Storytelling chairs embody the spirit of the ancient Welsh Bardic contest or Eisteddfod (from the Welsh words Eistedd and Bod, literally “to be seated”) providing a firm foundation for pupils to grasp the wonders of the spoken word.

Each storytelling chair we make is unique. We've made many hundreds of chairs and the designs are constantly evolving, depending on the materials we have available and the individual specifications of our customers. We can make your chair based on any picture you see on this site, or we can make a new chair to your specific requirements. Just let us know exactly what you want when you order.
