Once Upon The Aire...

Storytelling Nights in Leeds, West Yorkshire

This website is no longer updated.

The storytelling club took place monthly from January 2008, until some time in mid-2012. Thanks to everyone who ever came along and listened to the tales - it was great fun while it lasted!

Storytelling Events

Awakenings

Featuring: 
Ursula Holden Gill

This March, the story night will feature stories of roots, of renewal, about remembering who you really are. Ursula has woken up to herself. She's recovered the tales of her murky Blackburn past - as daft and as heart-warmingly beautiful as they were when they were first muttered by the colourful ghosts of her childhood.

Our story nights always have time for storytellers 'from the floor', so if you have a special story you've been itching to tell, why not bring it along?

As usual, we'll be upstairs at the Adelphi pub.

Date and Time: 
Tuesday, 3 March 2009 - 8:00pm
Entry Fee: 
£4.00
Concessions: 
£3.00
