First we had our Story Friends story creation workshop followed by a bit of learning to use puppets and recall parts of our story for performance, then the bairns told the story to residents at Hanover Court who were a fantastic audience!
After some fine pieces, I had the chance to tell some stories (and sing a wee song with Fizzy) to the kids, parents, Story Friends, Friendship club folks and the residents as part of the #sisfstoryripple2025!
I’ll be telling Spooky Tales, but my fairy pals Fizzy and Fuzzy will also be going along. They’re really excited to see the new outfits designed by club members! I’ll post some photos of the next outfits some time after the Halloween Rush!
Post edited to confirm that the storytelling has been rescheduled for 2pm on Friday 27th October! Event is FREE and suitable for all ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Good afternoon folks! Just a quick post to say that due to the ongoing problems caused by Storm Babet, Aberdeenshire Farming Museum will remain closed tomorrow, Sunday 22nd October 2023. This means that our scheduled storytelling event will be postponed. It will likely be rescheduled for 2pm on Friday the 27th October – just before Northern Frights’ Halloween Festival at Aden!
I’ll be packing blankets and cushions for the bairns to coorie up in, so come along and join us for some spooky farming tales! 🙂
Fit like abdy – that’s us just back from a wee family holiday and now I’m ready and raring to go for SPOOKY SEASON! Hope you’re all surviving Storm Babet – it’s terrible out there
The session is funded by the Scottish International Storytelling Festival‘s community programme, The Big Scottish Story Ripple #SISFStoryRipple who have loads of community events going on in the shire – just follow the # for more events near you 🙂
As the storytelling will be held in the Farming Museum, the spooky tales will have a country/farming flavour, with maybe a couple of tales from Peterhead and Fraserburgh for the folks travelling out from there – The session will be held between 2.30 and 3.30pm and is a Free Event for all the family!
