Southampton Storyteller heads Beyond the Border

The car is packed, the cat has now mastered his new cat flap and I'm heading off to St Donat's Castle in Wales. This weekend is their International Storytelling Festival ' Beyond the Border'!

I'm looking forward to tales galore and meeting up with some of my friends from the International School of Storytelling too...


And yes... I am camping!!!!! 

Winchester Hat Fair and Storytelling

Wherever you look there seems to be an abundance of hats!  Increased appearance in the media since the Royal wedding last year, the beginning of the month for the Jubilee and today the start of Ascot. Now it's festival time and in Hampshire alone there are many more hats set to come...


Winchester Hat Fair, Britain's longest running Festival of Street Theatre and Outdoor Arts, returns annually on the first weekend of July from Friday 6th to Sunday 8th July 2012. A crazy, colourful celebration of theatre and music, now in its 37th year, where entertainers perform voluntarily in exchange for money to be thrown into their hats. 


Alas I will be out of the county that weekend BUT in honour of the event we will be dedicating our next story gathering at the Hyde Tavern to the topic.

Join us 8pm on the 11th of July for  HATS and TALES  

Stories of Hats, Veils, Heads or however else our regular storytellers interpret the theme!

  

Winchester Storytelling Event: Flaming June!

Check your diaries, the 2nd Wednesday of the month is fast approaching... Set your clocks for 8pm!  

Join us, on the 13th of June for a summer evening of stories.  
Come and escape the rain in the creative hotspot of the Hyde Tavern cellar... 


Who cares if the sun only features in our imagination, the welcome will be warm and the pint of stories fiery.

Hampshire Children's Centre Prepare for the Jubilee

Inside and Outside! The Centre in Havant maximised Storytelling opportunities for both its Nursery children and then it's Royal Jubilee Fun Day. With stories,  finger rhymes and songs on a royal theme I helped unlock a treasure chest of creativity and imagination. Great fun was had by children, staff , myself... and after the picnic lunch outside, parents joined in too. I'm now looking forward to more magic next week with a booking in Fareham.
