As the fruitful year begins to die and fallen leaves blanket the earth, while the mists of Samhain rise from field and forest, join award-winning performance storyteller Jason Buck for an evening of shadow‑soaked folklore and haunting imagination.
Jason weaves a spellbinding collection of dark fairy tales for grown-ups, stories where the familiar twists into the uncanny, slipping between this world, the next, and the liminal realms that lie between. Enjoy an evening of traditional folk and fairy tales - with all the juicy bits left in! Magic, monsters, and mystery, from some of the oldest stories, brought to life for modern audiences: dancing dragons, cannibal witches, avenging forest ghosts and more!
“My friends and I saw Jason in Leamington last night and I was absolutely blown away. It was my first time at one of his events and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I can't recommend these events enough." Erika, Warwickshire
Expect rich, immersive storytelling in this one‑man show, set in the intimate glow of the Great Roundhouse hearth. Perfect for lovers of myth, magic, and atmospheric evenings, this is a night to settle in, lean close, and let the stories take hold.
"Jason Buck is a man made of myth, magic and mead. His stories are filled with adventure, his beard is full of unexpected twists and his tankard filled with a poet's brew. Sit around the fire and listen to his tales - you won't be disappointed." Abbie, Strange Times Storytelling Club
Enjoy a bar stocked with locally brewed cider and mead, alongside a range of other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Hot beverages and hearty snacks from our shop will be on hand to warm you as the evening deepens.
