STORYSCAPE: A programme of stories and storytelling open to the sacred.

SPRING COMMUNITY CIRCLE
An open session, compèred by Anthony Nanson, in which anyone can tell a tale, recite a poem, sing a song, or play a tune – or simply come to listen. Sacred or spiritual themes are welcome but not essential. The only rules are no reading and please keep items reasonably short! Traditional, true-life, and invented stories all welcome.

Hosted by Anthony Nanson.
