April Fables - Storytelling in Aberystwyth


Hello folks,

We have an April Fool's Day Fables next week!!!

No pranks (it's after midday) but I wonder if anyone will bring a trickster tale?

In March we ended up with historical theme to the stories - Tales of Saint David, Saint Collen, and Mother Shipton - poetry, and a song or two, and this led our newest attendees to ask if the stories have to be historical. Absolutely not!

We welcome all oral stories, from history, myth, legend, folklore, and your own creations. Over the years we've heard re-imaginings of old tales, improvised performances, environmental teaching tales, myths, personal stories, songs, poetry, historical events, and even a short reading or two from novels people have written.

While our focus is on telling stories from memory rather than book readings from longer pieces, as we're a storytelling circle, you don't have to!

We encourage you to use notes if you need them, to read us poetry you've written about your favourite story if that is your medium, and to join in where you're at. Fables is a space to try things out and be storytelling creatures together!

Looking forward to hearing the tales, poems, songs, and delights you've been gathering, and to welcoming your listening ears!


We meet on the first Wednesday of the month (every month) at 7pm!

VENUE: Climate Shop Café

Next Circle: Wednesday 1st April, 7-8:30pm at the Climate Shop Café, Market Street, Aberystwyth.

Bring a short story, song, or poem or just your listening heart. You don't need to tell a tale but you can if you wish, just volunteer on the night.

Free entry, donations welcome!

(Donations currently being collected for a small event planned for Halloween... details to be announced...)
