Sourcing materials
St Michael’s workshop in Norwich has very sadly closed. The Godly Play community in the UK has been blessed for many years to have had this workshop making storytelling objects for us, and their wonderful, skilled staff and trainees will be much missed. Godly Play UK are working to find alternative suppliers for the UK and we ask you to please bear with us while we do that.
In the meantime, there are several international options available if you are looking to purchase or make your own Godly Play materials. Please be aware for international suppliers, that bank charges for currency conversion and money transfer may be required.
