12th – 16th October 2026

Residential Workshop 

 Aimed at aspiring storytellers with experience of performing, and a basic repertoire of traditional stories to draw on, this fun and intensive 5 day workshop explores three fundamental aspects of storytelling: body, language and story.Through exercises, discussion and shared curiosity we will investigate the territory of each pillar, building skills and mastering the architecture of folktale and myth. With the Lakeland Fells on our doorstep we will take a day to venture out amongst the mountains and becks, finding the wild elements in our bodies and words. 

Come along preparing to be encouraged, challenged and inspired.

The Oaks, Lindeth, Bowness on Windermere, Cumbria LA23 3JA
