Submissions Invited for Village Storytelling Festival 2026 

Scotland’s biennial Contemporary and Community Storytelling Festival is back for 2026!  With a format described as unique, visionary and ground-breaking, Village Storytelling Festival will explore the theme ‘Voices of Change’ this year, retaining its focus on Glasgow and its people, their stories and the ways in which they communicate them.

We can’t wait to hear your ideas!

Enjoy an evening of stories and music to celebrate love in all its forms with professional and community performers from Pollok and Glasgow.
We will also have an open mic if you want to share a wee poem, story or song.

Following three years of successful programme, VSC is delighted to offer again an opportunity for three Emerging Voices in Storytelling to take part in a fully paid, 12-week placement.

They will work collaboratively and independently to develop their own performance skills and to find their authentic voice with ample opportunity to practice their performance skills. Ultimately, they will develop a new, contemporary oral performance collectively that will be shared during The Village Storytelling Festival
