Come join us, and UK storyteller Martin Jefferd, at the RAW Garden on Sunday, 3 February. Treat yourself to an afternoon of stories, food and great company.

Fabled Nights in Newport

Fabled Nights is an open-hearted space for people who want to learn to craft true tales, traditional stories, tall tales and yarns; heart to heart and without notes. We welcome beginners and experienced folks. So come and strut your stuff, share what you know, try out a new story or tell a tale for the first time.

There's room for around 10 storytellers and we ask that stories be no longer than 10 minutes, give or take. We ask that stories be said not read.

We reserve 2 - 15 minute places for people who want to try out longer stories.

Let kind hearts and commonsense prevail: racist and homophobic stories hurt people so please don't bring them to Fabled Nights.

WHERE: Newport Community HUB 13 Mason Street Newport.
WHEN: March 15
TIME: 7.30 - 10.00
COST: $5.00 or $3.00 (Storytelling Vic and Newport Fiddle and Folk Club members). No Booking required.
