About

Visit Beckford's Tower where the writer William Beckford housed his collection and had two libraries.

You are invited to be inspired by the gothic novel 'Vathek' that Beckford published in 1786 and create your own book.

5-12 year olds.

The session will be inside the Tower where the architecture of the spiral staircase may stir a creative or imaginative mind and work its way into your story.
