Story Tree

Come and see our Story Tree...

The world famous Folk Festival live from sunny Southwell, plays host to our Collecting Stories tent, where we bring the outside in and invite you to tell a tale or two.

We worked with fantastic local artist Carole Beavis to create our Story Tree out of willow and wood (pictured above with Richard)

Our Story Tree will be sat proudly in our Collecting Stories tent at Southwell Folk Festival on Friday 7 and Sat 8, June

If a tree grows for 300 years, lives for 300 years, then dies for 300 years; What in that time could a tree see? If it had ears what would it hear?

Our Story Tree is ready to listen and record your stories of Southwell, tales from the Trent or natterings of Nottinghamshire. We want your folklorical knowledge of local heritage, stories rooted in the trees and leaves of Newark and Sherwood. 

Be it fairy-tale, fact, fable or fiction, just relax in the arm-chair of our outdoor living room and spin us a yarn or two and we'll digitally record your local story, which may feature in our celebration event at The Minster School studio, Friday 12th July, 7pm. 

If you would like to email us a story and arrange an appointment for us to record it, please email a few sentences to podblogcollectingstories@gmail.com
