The Village Storytelling Festival

The Village Storytelling Festival (with funding from Creative Scotland) is a celebration and exploration of the art and application of storytelling past, present and future.

Marking the fifteenth anniversary of ground-breaking Glasgow charity The Village Storytelling Centre, this four day festival will give you the opportunity to see innovative storytellers from across the UK in exciting contemporary performance and to experience a range of shows from community groups all working with story and art in different ways.

Running alongside is a series of thought provoking symposia which ask how storytelling benefits us a society and indeed, how this ancient tradition remains relevant and contemporary in the modern world. Guests include Jan Blake, The Devil’s Violin, Ruth Kirkpatrick, Cat Gerrard, Tim Ralphs, Katrice Horsely, Michael Williams, Ailie Finlay, Xanthe Gresham-Knight and Tamar Williams.
