To celebrate International Storytelling Week, which took place between 31 January and 8 February, we decided to spoil you with a collection of short stories delivered by one of our storytellers.

All of these stories explore the theme for our upcoming 2026 Village Storytelling Festival – ‘Voices of Change’.
The festival will take place between 3–6 June.

Enjoy!
