'Ministry of Stories' opens to inspire young writers

Help

Author Nick Hornby has established a "Ministry of Stories" to inspire the next generation of writers and playwrights.

But in the back there is a classroom space where children will be taught the fundamentals of story telling.

The BBC's Graham Satchell reports.
