With Portsmouth City Council's Libraries and Archives Service, we received a grant from the Arts Council to provide events and activities under the project title of City of Stories.
Working with Splodge Designs and local community groups, six story cubes have been created. These have been be used as a game with families, schools and community groups to devise stories based around Sherlock Holmes.
The six cubes have the following themes:
One – Background
Two and Six – Characters
Three – A Clue
Four – Sherlock Holmes Tools
Five – Themes
Stories
After all of the cubes were finished, Splodge Design went back to visit all of the groups again to user test the cubes. Select the group below to see the stories created.
Each cube is rolled and a side from each is chosen to form the basis of the story for the group to create.
Our aim is to publicise the Conan Doyle Collection locally and internationally. To do this, we attend and create local events and work with other partners on projects to promote access and to the Collection.
