Make Friday 29th October your special storytelling day, celebrate Scotland’s unique heritage and culture, and support the world’s oldest form of entertainment. 
All over Scotland on Tell-a-Story Day people will be making, sharing and listening to stories in schools, libraries, community centres, churches, hospitals, homes, gardens – and some more unusual venues!

TASD 2009 - It’s time to talk! 

Children and adults crowded the Scottish Storytelling Centre on Tell-a-Story Day to listen to Claire Hewitt telling stories and singing songs from New Zealand and Canada. An audience captivated by yarns of creation, journeying and homecoming then joined in enthusiastically to create their own tales and add them to the Festival story tree.

And all over Scotland, people got together on this day to celebrate Scotland’s unique heritage and culture, and support the world’s oldest form of entertainment. This year there were 39 Tell-a-Story Day events, organised in a wide reange of settings: schools, libraries, community centres, churches, pubs and hospitals. Some events focused on the Festival’s homelands theme, others took a more traditional ‘Halloween and spooky tales’ approach, others focused on simply being together and sharing stories.

Whatever your theme, wherever your event took place, we hope Tell-a-Story Day was as enjoyable for you as it was for us, and we hope to see you again next year!
