Pull up a seat by the fire and spend an evening embracing the arrival of winter with spine-tingling music and spell-binding wintery tales.
The coldest month comes just before the spring, like the darkest hours come just before the dawn, but “when the green earth is sleeping beneath a blanket of snow, this is the time for storytelling.”
The Footprint building is a unique straw-bale building heated by wood-stove, so wrap up warm, bring a torch and wear sturdy boots or shoes in case there’s time to include a short trip into the woods before we retire indoors for a performance of songs and stories from across Europe celebrating winter’s stark magic and beauty. Parking is limited so please car-share if possible.
