About Scottish International Storytelling Festival: Botanics Storytelling Day - Story Walks

Magical things happen in the autumn, when leaves fall down, mushrooms pop up, and untold stories are waiting to be foraged. Join storytellers Allison Galbraith, David Hughes and Alette Willis to explore the gardens, unearthing stories along the way, for an afternoon of fun and magic!

These 20min sessions are designed as story walks around a section of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Please meet at the Botanic Cottage in the Demonstration Garden and dress for the weather!

Story Walk Timetable:
David Hughes: 12.15pm | 1.45pm | 3.15pm
Allison Galbraith: 12.45pm | 2.15pm | 3.30pm
Alette Willis: 1.15pm | 2.45pm

~~~~~~~~~~

2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 1989, SISF has been building bridges between cultures, artists and audiences all over the world through the power of storytelling – connecting past, present and future. This year’s theme is ‘Bridges Between’. At a time where literal, figurative and societal walls continue to be constructed, we invite everyone to look beyond these boundaries and to celebrate the last and the next 35 years of storytelling with us.
