Story Magic

If you are looking for something to do with the little ones in Brighton, the theatre company Fideri Fidera is currently running their 'Story Magic' sessions at the Komedia Studio. It is a series of interactive classes designed for children between 9 months and 5 years old, focusing on a mix of music, storytelling, and play. The sessions last about 40 minutes and are led by artists Tashi and Jack, who guide the group through a mix of original songs, classic rhymes, puppets, and children's stories. It is set up as a participatory activity, so it is really about parents and children engaging with the performance together.

For those planning to attend, the sessions take place on Fridays, with slots at 10:00 and 11:00. There are specific dates confirmed for this spring, including April 24, May 1, and May 8, 2026. A practical detail to keep in mind is the access to the venue: you need to use the entrance on Regent Street (BN1 1UL) rather than the usual Gardner Street entrance. It is a small logistical point, but it saves a bit of confusion when you arrive with kids in tow.

Regarding the costs, the price is £7.50 per child, though some sources note a price of £7.00. If you are bringing siblings, the cost for them is £3.50. Accompanying adults and babies under 9 months old can attend for free. The sessions have been well-received by parents, who often mention how the facilitators manage to keep the children engaged throughout the 40-minute duration. It is a straightforward, consistent format if you are looking for a regular activity in the city centre that combines theatre elements with early years development.
