There’s a new exhibition at Wolverhampton Art Gallery where youngsters (and grown ups) are being encouraged to enter a  world of storytelling and discover work inspired by childhood memories, fictional stories and fairy tales.

Through paintings, drawings, sculptures and collage, the gallery space is being transformed into an enchanted, playful and mysterious land.

Discover a magical world of giant illuminated flowers by artists Aether & Hemera, books that appear to be on fire with paper flames, and Rebecca Stevenson’s beautiful animal sculptures.

Spend some time reading a selection of fascinating and nostalgic books and have a go at some of their fun and free activities.

Video journalist Nicky Butler went along to find out more about the exhibition which runs until September 4.
