Sign-up your child to the Ministry of Stories and see their writing skills and confidence flourish! We run five Community Writing Labs after school and at the weekend for young people in Hackney to have fun and discover the power of their imagination.
All of our free after school and weekend Community Writing Labs take place at our Hoxton Street writing centre. Due to high demand in our busy neighbourhood, we have to keep our offer very local. Check below to see if your child can join.

We run free, welcoming and accessable programmes and encourage young people from all backgrounds and experiences to get involved.
We are proud to support young people’s imaginations to take the lead and offer them the chance to get excited about all forms of writing, from poetry and podcasts, to screenplays and songwriting.
Attending weekly sessions will also help your child improve their literacy, build confidence and self-esteem, make friends and have fun.
“If you’re new here, this is a place where you can free your mind on a piece of paper and become what you want.”
Hafsa, Aged 11
If you have any questions or would like to speak to someone before signing-up your child, you can pop along to 159 Hoxton Street (Tue – Sat 10am – 5pm) and someone will be happy to help. Just press the buzzer to the right of the door, at Hoxton Street Monster Supplies.
You can also pick up a paper form to fill out if you prefer this to digital.
You can also call us on 020 7729 4159 or email at hello@ministryofstories.org
We’re proud to have a London Youth Bronze Quality Mark Award. This is a badge of excellence awarded for well-run, safe services for children and young people.
