Let the story speak.
The Hock's Box Pop-Up Story Tent isn’t your average story time. It’s a red tent filled with blue pillows, far too much bunting, and a warm swirl of stories that change with the breeze.
Some are old, some are new, and some are
entirely made up by a mouse with a notebook
and a suspicious love of jam tarts.

Well done, curious one—you scanned the flyer and found your way in. That means you’re exactly the sort of person Willow the Story Catcher likes best. Quietly clever. A little adventurous. Possibly in possession of a biscuit.

With the wind in our favour and stories at the ready.
Each pop-up is a little different.
Some happen in parks, others in gardens or quiet village greens.
But every time, the magic is the same:
children gather, the wind hushes, and the stories begin.
Check back on Hock's Box for future dates and locations
we’re always on the move.
And bring your imagination—it’s the only ticket you’ll need.
What to Bring:
A comfy blanket, a curious heart, and maybe your favourite stuffed animal (they’re excellent listeners). We’ll take care of the rest—including the stories.
If it Rains:
If it drizzles, the tent still twinkles. We’re a cosy bunch, and stories love a bit of weather. Just bring your brolly and your brave heart—we’ll be waiting.
Sending only good things to your POSTBOX every now and then
If you’d like to know when the next one arrives, you can quietly join our waiting list. No fuss. No fanfare. Just a gentle nudge when it’s time.
