Quest Through Novels

The Quest for… Oliver Twist

Creep down Dickensian streets to meet Oliver, uncover his family history and brave a visit to Fagin’s den! Our Story Seeker will greet your pupils and explore this well-loved literary adventure.

Led by our experienced facilitator, your class will embody key characters; discover what it would be like to be one of Fagin’s gang; and visit different locations including the workhouse, the undertakers and Mr Brownlow’s house.

Your class will come away wanting to learn more (MORE?!) about the tale of Oliver Twist.
