It was a magical story night in the cellar of The Hyde Tavern this month.
A pot of spiced cider bubbled in the corner and the room held its breath waiting for visitors to arrive and share stories and mince pies around the fireside.
Though we were few in number the warmth of heart and companionship was not diminished.
Tales of feasting, late night and unexpected visitors, mistletoe, a masquerade ball, a juggler, a dancing cowboy & the Russian legend of Babouska framed the event beautifully.
A huge thank you to those who told stories with me and those who listened and drew in close around the fire. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our first Christmas in this amazing venue, we hope there will be many more to come.
Next month January 9th at 8pm we will be gathering once more for tales of Snow and Ice. Excitingly our programme of stories already including two hauntingly beautiful Russian tales to be told by Mike and Jane. Do join us the theme might be chilly but we hope the fire will be roaring...
