STORYTELLING SESSION REVIEW:  WEDNESDAY, 1ST JULY, 2026

We had another entertaining and thought-provoking evening in the Community Shed, Alloa, on the theme of True Stories.  We heard tales of sibling rivalry, encounters with bees, poems of a lost Scottish princess and memories, and we listened to the story of Ella Christie, female adventurer and founder of the Japanese Garden at Cowden. And our Lynne told her first ever tale!

Much laughter was shared on what turned out to be a dreich and rainy summer evening.

STORYTELLING SESSION REVIEW:  WEDNESDAY, 3RD JUNE, 2026

Another fabulous Wednesday at the Woolpack Inn for another night of stories, poems, anecdotes based loosely around the theme of “Summer Equinox”.
In the words of ‘Oor Sue’ and ‘Oor Eleanor.’
“It was a really good night. Lots of laughs with lovely ladies. “
“Agreed, brilliant night, great stories and a great poem and such a nice giggle in-between.”
And we got to hear ‘Oor Kerry-Ann’s’ first story.
What’s not to like? ❤️

 

 

 

 

 

“We had a wonderful evening and every family I spoke to commented on how much they had enjoyed the event.  The stories kept everyone enthralled throughout.  The use of puppets and soft toys captured the attention of our younger listeners and the local tale was enjoyed by all (with many commenting that they had not heard it before).

Thank you for supporting our story and supper event.  Your exciting stories were thoroughly enjoyed by all.  The evening was made even more magical thanks to your input!”

” Jo led a workshop for Primary 7 pupils based on the Ochil Fairy Tales.  The children took part in a variety of activities: painting scenes on stones, reciting poetry, listening to the stories being told and exploring the nature that is referred to in the tales.  The children were fascinated to learn about their local folklore and asked lots of questions.  It was a valuable experience for them to hear stories spoken and led them to explore storytelling techniques themselves.”

P. 7 Teacher, Redwell Primary School
