For thousands of years people have gathered around the hearth to share stories and sing songs. Join us in the Saxon Hall and take your place around the fire as we celebrate this ancient tradition in the company of Blabbermouth Storytelling.
Accompanied by singer and violinist Emily Fear, award winning archaeologist and storyteller Dan Broadbent will lead us on a historical journey, weaving together folk tales, legends and familiar songs from across the ages – from Bede to the Beatles.
With audience participation very much encouraged, this special evening of storytelling and song is not be missed.
This event is aimed at adults and ages 14+.
Booking required, £20 including a glass of locally produced apple juice during the interval.
