View EventJoin Little Inventors for the Lit & Phil Invention Challenge 2026 and invent your own myths and legends for everyday life!
Long ago, people believed strange creatures, magical places and mysterious inventions existed all around them, hidden in forests, wells, rivers and roads. These stories helped our ancestors understand the world around them. Today we face different challenges like pollution, loneliness, climate change and misinformation, so perhaps we need new myths for modern life. What mythical inventions, hidden places, or legendary creatures might exist around us today? What do they do? Who do they help? Where are they found? How do they change everyday life?
Join Little Inventors for a fun, creative workshop inspired by the legendary collections of Newcastle’s Lit & Phil. Together we’ll invent, draw and make new myths for modern-day Newcastle.
The Lit & Phil is Newcastle’s beautiful independent library, free and open to everyone. Founded in 1793, its iconic Westgate Road home has inspired curious minds since 1825—long before the city’s universities existed—and continues to be a place to discover, learn and explore.

Little Inventors is a creative education organisation that turns children’s big ideas into reality. Founded by artist Dominic Wilcox in Sunderland in 2016, it has grown into an award-winning international programme, with children’s inventions showcased everywhere from the UN and the International Space Station to the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.

This project is funded by the Reece Foundation.
