I’m delighted to be back at Tarland Food and Music Festival telling stories at three venues on Saturday 20th September! Food and Music must been good themes, because over the years I’ve found heaps of new stories to tell at Tarland and they’ve stayed in my repertoire – often becoming some of the most popular tales!
The storytelling sessions are all free, but I’m sure a donation into the donation bucket wouldn’t go amiss! 🙂
Here are the details –
SATURDAY 20 SEPT 11–11.45am | Upper Hall | Free 12.30-1pm | Community Garden 1.30-2pm | The Pavilion
Don’t forget Spectra Festival is next week!  Spectra is Aberdeen’s Festival of Lights and this year is returning for its 10th anniversary of the first Spectra in 2014. 
Lindsey Storyteller and myself will be telling tales in the Cowdray Hall between 6 and 10pm each night – some inspired by the various artworks across the city. Come hear a tale of a stubborn princess wooed by the lords of the local industries – she’d rather ignore them and hang out wi the seagulls instead!
(Now I’m getting carried away and considering Greggsy Granite, Shuggie Shipbuilder, Farquar Fash and … I don’t know. The temptation to have a golfing tycoon is huge. HUGE!)
Fizzy and Fuzzy the Fairies will be back (oh no) with a new story of their own – all about the giant beastie that rolls the sun across the sky!
Lindsey Storyteller and I will be telling stories for Spectra Festival this Thursday, Friday, Saturday AND Sunday until 10pm with the first story usually starting around 6.30pm.
We will be in a new venue this year! (in more ways than one) The Burns Pavillion is the newly constructed space half way up Union Terrace Gardens just down from the Robert Burns statue on Union Terrace. We’ll be on the lower level with access from that level only.
Union Terrace Gardens is now fully wheelchair and buggy accessible so we look forward to seeing everyone in our warm, cosy storytelling space!
SEE YOU THERE!
P.S.
Sunday evening will be a relaxed session and We Too SC045895 are working in partnership with Spectra. They will be supporting – A visual guide – Sensory ChillVille spaces to access – We Too! Ninja’s – always “seen in green” with their bright green hoodies! – Access to sensory aids (such as ear defenders or fidget toys)
and AbleDeen will be parked on Union Terrace with – The use of mobility equipment, manually power wheelchairs, powered scooters and walking frames (equipment will be limited) – A safe, quiet place to relax and gather your though
