A closed-off road is set to be transformed into a lively and creative play street this summer.
Discover Children's Story Centre in Stratford will turn a dead-end road next to its garden into a colourful 'Story Street' during August, in a collaboration with The LEGO Group.
The street, formerly known for anti-social behaviour, will become a vibrant space for storytelling, play, and imagination from August 1 to August 31, from 11am to 4pm daily.

Activities will include LEGO® brick building, dress-up, crafts, musical play, and more, alongside daily pop-up events such as monster-making, yoga storytelling, and musical performances.
The project has been co-designed with input from children in the area. Other contributors include Discover’s Children’s Forum, After School Stories programme, and Saturday SEND Mighty Mega club, who all played a part in shaping the street and its activities.
Discover said: "Discover’s Children’s Forum, Mighty Mega SEND Club and local schoolchildren have been working with the LEGO Group to co-create a truly spectacular new play street, building on last year to make something even more fun and even more accessible – still filled with creativity, invitations to play and building with LEGO® bricks."
Story Street is supported by the LEGO Foundation and free to access with a Discover entry ticket. Tickets and full event details are available at discover.org.uk.
