Ministry of Stories

About Ministry of Stories

Season 1: Join the Ministry of Stories on unique adventures through lands of fire and dragons. Meet greedy unicorns and pig presidents and help us hunt for missing emojis and doughnuts. Each episode features a short story written and read by children who attend writing clubs at the Ministry of Stories. Created with the generous support of Matt Hill and Penguin Random House Audio. Thanks to our funders: the Breadsticks Foundation, Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Arts Council England. Season 2: Did you know The Shard used to be made entirely from sausages? And that the London Eye is an interdimensional portal? These are just some of the remarkable "facts" our young writers, aged 6-15, unearthed in summer 2024 whilst making three alternative audio tours of London. Created with the generous support of East London Arts and Music and Matt Hill at Rethink Audio. Thanks to our funders: Arts Council England, City Bridge Foundation, the Violence Reduction Unit of the Mayor's Office, and the Lightbulb Trust.
