The Hastings Storytelling Festival
is a new event, celebrating the oral tradition of storytelling. It isn't a 'literary festival' - the festival features original work by performers, designed to be spoken live, rather than written down or read from a page. The performance of the work is as important as the work itself ...
The first Hastings Storytelling Festival took place in November 2011, at various venues around the town. Following the success of that event, we're doing it all again, in November 2012.
The festival includes a range of different events at different locations, and a range of storytelling styles. See 'programme' and 'performers' pages for more details.
All the events during the 2011 festival were FREE (except the final event, which included dinner).
We've left the details of the festival and its performers on this website, but watch this space ... details for the 2012 festival will appear later in the year.
And if you can't wait that long, go to our 'events' page to find out about other regular storytelling events in the area.
If you've any questions, or you're a storyteller who would like to perform in the 2012 festival, please contact:
