Chapter 5 of Storytale Festival will take place in Bristol over the first weekend of the October half term (20th-23rd October) and is jam-packed with events for all the family, including one event being held right here at Windmill Hill City Farm. Things will take a suitably sinister turn with zombies, spirits and things that go bump in the night as children’s entertainer Mr Brown’s Pig brings to life Halloween themed stories in our Garden Theatre on 20th October in The Darker Side.
From a myths and magic inspired creative writing workshop with local author Anna Hoghton, to a bat-tastic story time and draw-along with author-illustrator Emma Reynolds, the citywide festival will have something for everyone. Plus they have a special, multi award-winning show, The Extraordinary Time-Travelling Adventures of Baron Munchausen, to kick everything off a whole week before on Sunday 15th October at the 1532 Performing Arts Centre with Oh So Funny Comedy.
Colourful Minds will open the festival on Friday 20th October with a fun and creative story and art session for pre-schoolers at The Bristol Beacon, while author Ian Brown will bring inspiration, imagination and story ideas to The Southville Centre in Turtles, Dinosaurs and More! Brian Frederick and his sausage dog Siggy will be in the Tobacco Factory’s snug.
Accessible and affordable with lots of free events including inspiring storytelling and interactive craft sessions, there’ll be something for everyone.
The full programme of events, more information and details about how to book can be found at the Storytale Festival website.
