Single ticket £19.50
Come join local storyteller Bernadette Russell for a wild autumn night of storytelling about the wise women, witches and warriors of these ancient lands: including legend and lore drawing on real life characters from history as well as our oldest folktales.
Be prepared for fun, joy, songs and dancing as well as heart wrenching tales and soul-searing poetry!
Please do feel free to dress up in your witchiest garments, or come exactly as you would like to, and bring an object which you would like to be charmed for good luck throughout the winter- something natural or homemade (a stone, a shell, a small object). And don’t worry if you don’t have an object, for we will have some waiting for you !
P.S - Any living creature can be a witch, or wise, or a warrior, so everyone is welcome!
