Cubbon Tales

About

I rediscovered my love for stories when my son was born. What started with a mat, a few props, and my family’s encouragement in Cubbon Park has now become a little community that keeps the magic of kahaani purani (old stories) alive, while weaving in fresh tales every week.

What Happens at Our Workshops

Every weekend, you’ll find us under the trees at Cubbon Park. I don’t just read - I act out characters, bring in songs, and there’s always some movement. Kids join in, roaring like lions, twirling scarves, or just rolling around in the grass. Sometimes chaos, always fun.

• Sessions are outdoors, so we sit on mats, breathe in the fresh air, and let the stories unfold.
• Music, dance, and drama blend right into the tales.
• Sensory play - expect bubbles, sticks, leaves, and running about if the mood strikes.
• Each week’s theme is a new adventure, from classic stories to festivals and even topics like friendship or looking after nature.

Everyone’s Welcome

It’s not just for kids. Parents, grandparents, and friends become part of the circle. You can join in, relax, or just watch the little ones go wild. We sometimes have guest storytellers too, so there’s always a surprise.

The Real Deal

Some days, the story pauses for a meltdown or a toddler sprinting off. Sometimes, the best stories are the ones we make up on the spot. That’s just how it goes with outdoor family storytelling - a bit messy, always memorable.
