Bristol Storytelling Festival is a series of events to celebrate stories and storytelling in the city, held during National Storytelling Week. During the festival an array of accomplished storytellers will be telling local legends, folk tales, tall stories, historical anecdotes, ghostly rumours and enchanting yarns at different venues across Bristol for adults, families and children to experience and enjoy the magic of storytelling...

“Storytelling is a natural human instinct and one of the oldest art forms. Storytelling uses the power of the spoken word to take listeners on a journey of the imagination. Through oral storytelling each story is individually recreated in the moment – in the space between the teller and the listener.” - The Society for Storytelling
