For many,many years before the written word, we gathered around fires and made sense of the world and of what it means to be human by telling and sharing stories. Join professional storyteller and author Bernadette Russell for this workshop in which you will be told some ancient tales and be given the opportunity to tell them in groups too. By the time you leave you will have remembered in your bones which you know to be true - you are already a storyteller, now go out into the world and tell!
Everyone is welcome - whether you already tell stories or have always wanted to - no previous experience necessary! Please bring a notepad and a pen.
Suitable for ages 16+.
Tickets £15.
* Kids under 14 go free (must be accompanied by paying adult).
