April 27th saw the launch of Time Will Tell, our major education project in association with BBC Outreach for the 60th Times Cheltenham Literature Festival.

Time Will Tell involves pupils from six schools each writing a short story to celebrate one of the six decades of the Festival. Leading author Philip Ardagh will help the children write their stories, and actor and director Fiona Ross will shape the stories for the stage.

Time Will Tell will be performed at Cheltenham Town Hall on October 12.

Teachers and pupils from Chosen Hill, The Crypt, Balcarras, Cotswold, Rednock and Maidenhill schools squeezed into the BBC Radio Gloucestershire studio, along with author Philip Ardagh and presenter Jon Rockley. Jon drew each school’s decade out of a hat live on air, and interviewed Philip Ardagh and Nicola Tuxworth about the project.
