Once Upon Our Time

An exclusive invitation

Join us for an immersive experience in an astonishing venue, to celebrate children’s voices from across the globe.

On World Children’s Day, this exclusive, invite-only event promises to be a spectacular evening of fundraising for children.

At Frameless, the venue that transcends time and space, you’ll be immersed in stories you want to retell.
Stories enchant us as children.
Stories sustain us as grown-ups.
Stories allow us to escape into a different world and narrate the one we live in.

At UNICEF UK, we believe every child should have the chance to shape their own story with curiosity, joy and freedom.

To help make a better world for children, join our stellar event on Wednesday 20 November 2024.
