EVENTS

PROGRAMME

BLABBERMOUTH exists to share traditional tales far and wide, primarily through a varied programme of themed storytelling performances staged in rural communities across Somerset and the wider west-country. In addition, Dan works with various partners such as DRYAD GIN and HOPE NATURE PROJECT to create unique community events. If you are interested in working with BLABBERMOUTH, to develop your own event, do drop us a line.

​

This year's regular performance programme includes the following shows (see calendar for dates and venues). Unless otherwise stated, shows are aimed at grown-up audiences but should be suitable for older children.

SEASONAL TALES FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Many of us feel disconnected from the natural world, our busy lives so full of distraction that it is easy to miss the tell-tale signs of the changing seasons. Through the sharing of  traditional tales, both local and global, all of which mark the slow turning of the year, these changing, seasonal performances are an invitation to pause and acknowledge the buds and the blossom, the fruit on the bough and the falling leaves. ​​​
