The Glorious Revolution is one of the most important events in British history, yet it is often not that well known by many people. True, the story is quite complicated, the characters involved are not as famous as some in history, and making constitutional change thrilling can be quite hard; all the same, the events which saw James II flee his kingdom, the installation of his daughter and son-in-law - Mary and William - as joint monarchs, the creation of the Bill of Rights and the establishment of a more constitutional type of monarchy were hugely significant events, which still affect our lives today.

The revolution reached its climax at the Banqueting House in 1689, so we decided to develop a storytelling session bringing it to life, which could take place on the spot where it happened.

The story sessions were performed by master storyteller Diana Olutunmogun, who weaved a tale which made this complex event entertaining, but at the same time ensured that it was informative.

Most sessions were delivered for adult community groups, who said how much they enjoyed hearing about an event that they only knew vaguely, and hearing it told in such an engaging style. For them it was particularly special to have their sessions on the spot where history happened. Other sessions saw family groups attend, and both parents and children relished the story, and appreciated how Diana varied the tone to suit her audience.

It was great to bring the story of the Glorious Revolution to a wider audience.
