Stories have been told in every culture across the world from the earliest times.
It is a great way of sharing experiences and values with others in your family and the community. All of us are naturally storytellers. We tell each other stories all the time. But storytelling is also an art that can be learnt.

Venue: The Hillcrest Centre, Hillcrest Road, Newhaven.
Café opens 7.00, stories from 7.30pm
