February 3rd saw The Yard of Tales celebration for National Storytelling Week. And what a celebration it was! Eleven storytellers took to the stage and gave us eleven wonderful stories…all of them a joy to listen to.
The audience was huge, around 35, with regular faces and lots of new faces too. What a fantastic situation to be in after only a few months on the scene? Our name is spreading through word of mouth….the Yard is THE place to be on the first Thursday of the month!

So, the biggest of thanks to all the tellers, some of whom had travelled great distances, one from Norwich!!…..some of whom had not told very often and some of whom were seasoned performers. We cringed at puns, oooed at spooky tales, laughed at blood curdling yarns and raised our eyebrows at carefully crafted tales. Brilliant. This is the first time I have received so many emails from audience members commenting on the evening.

So, here is to the next one, the wonderful Simon Heywood and his tales from “Darkest England”. Watch out for further mailings.
