Summer of Stories is back!

This summer, Z-arts is bringing back one of our most-loved free events – Summer of Stories!

Summer of Stories 2026 runs weekly from Tuesday 28 July to Saturday 15 August, with three weeks of free storytelling, arts and crafts and creative fun for all the family. This year, we’re welcoming three brilliant facilitators, who will each take a week to bring their own stories, crafts and creative magic to Z-arts.

Sessions run at 10:30am, 11:30am, 12:30pm and 1:30pm, Tuesday to Saturday. Listen to a story, get hands-on with arts and crafts, then explore Z-arts for as long as you like.
