Thanks to generous funding from Arts Council England, and a partnership with Norwich Games Festival, we're creating four new newspapers dedicated to fantasy worldbuilding, for ages 12 - 1,200.

We'll have four events over the next 12 months in the Forum Norwich, where you can pick up a free copy and try the activities with us, or take it home to enjoy.

Free copies will be limited to 150 copies per newspaper. Some will be donated to charities and community groups, and the rest will be available from the Forum drop-in events.

There will also be an opportunity to subscribe, and for every two newspapers sold we'll donate a copy to someone who is unable to afford it.
