Story Shuffle: The Tale of Sir Bevis

Greetings adventurer…

Stories are very important to us all. Whether they are new, old or retold they allow us to delve into our imaginations and beyond. The Story Shuffle Project is all about creating adventures for everyone.

Story Shuffle: The Tale of Sir Bevis has seen theatre makers from The Berry Theatre in Hedge End work with ten primary schools throughout Eastleigh and Southampton to uncover the epic story of Sir Bevis of Hampton.

Using theatre games and activities the team has worked with hundreds of pupils who then wrote their own sections of The Tale of Sir Bevis. This app is a home for those tales.

You can search by author to find a specific pupil’s contribution, or let the Story Shuffle app pick random entries for you, meaning you will never read the same version twice.

If you are inspired by the tale of Sir Bevis, why not write your own adventure and send them to us at drama@eastleigh.gov.uk so that we can add your stories to the Story Shuffle app too.

To find out more about Sir Bevis and how his story is linked to King Henry V, The Battle of Agincourt, Southampton and the River Hamble visit www.gracedieumuseum.co.uk

We hope you enjoy your adventure.
