Discover Children’s Story Centre is immersing visitors in stories. Annette Rawstrone reports

Everyone has run out of imagination on the planet of Squiggly Diggly so Hootah the alien has come to earth and taken up residence at the Discover Children’s Story Centre in Stratford, east London, where children are busy helping him to create new stories to take home.

Discover’s newly refurbished indoor and outdoor environments are full of things to fire up children’s curiosity and imaginations – from a pirate ship to a London taxi, a castle puppet theatre to a monster slide, and a cave with sounds and lights.
