The Rapid Reading Race! · 1 October 2019

The Story Museum celebrates Stories. From our unusual museum in Oxford, we’re on a mission to enrich lives, especially young lives, through our ever-growing collection of stories in all forms: immersive exhibitions, theatre shows, skill clubs, courses, live events and co-creation projects.

Story

In the heart of Oxford, a most unusual museum is evolving. The Story Museum is a place where visitors can immerse themselves in magical worlds, experience new stories and rediscover beloved classics.

The Story Museum is currently undergoing a massive redevelopment to create 10 new gallery and exhibition spaces. To do this it’s amazing team have to raise £6 million, and they have reached 90% of their goal.

I am privileged to be a member of the Story Museum’s Board and each Board member has been challenged to raise £1000 in a Rapid Reading Race. I have to read all 13 books in The Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket – that’s 3696 pages by midnight on 31st January 2020. 

If I don’t complete the challenge I will be locked in the basement of the Museum!

All the money raised goes to the Story Museum’s capital redevelopment and ongoing collections. The Museum reopens in the Spring. If you are able to show your support by sponsoring me (and stop me being locked away for good!), please let me know. I’d be extremely grateful!
