Join Story Museum patron and award-winning author Malorie Blackman, actor and writer Paterson Joseph and Dr Darren Chetty as we mark 25 years of the seminal novel Noughts & Crosses.

This special event will explore the book’s lasting impact — a story many first encounter at school, yet one that continues to grow with its readers. From the page to stage, screen and graphic novels, Noughts & Crosses has reached new audiences while continuing to spark big questions and meaningful discussion today.

The event also marks the opening of a brand-new story space within the Enchanted Library galleries, inspired by the novel and created in collaboration with young people and artists from the Black Excellence Project and Kuumba Nia Arts. Please note tickets to see the Galleries must be purchased separately.

In partnership with Penguin Random House, Oxford Brookes University, The Black Excellence Project and Kuumba Nia Arts.
