Seven Stories in Newcastle

[Ice_Gemz]

Hi all,

Has anyone been to Seven Stories in Newcastle to look at the Enid Blyton collection?

It's several hours' drive from me, but I might be visiting the area in the new year, so wondered whether it's worth a visit.

In my head they have all sorts of archives, collections and unique items on display for all to see, however I have a feeling that it isn't how I'd love to imagine it.

Presumably you're familiar with their website, Ice_Gemz.

I'm sure Duncan McLaren (author of "Looking for Enid") went, and wrote about it on his blog. I think it's not like a museum or exhibition, I think you can make an appointment and then ask for items to be brought out to look at individually.

I assume you mean visiting the archives specifically rather than their Lime Street exhibition spaces?

Tony and Anita went when the Enid Blyton exhibition was there - and Poppy (one of our young members here) played the part of George in a little re-enactment of the Famous Five.
