Sarah volunteered and performed floor spots at Birmingham Storytelling Cafe before becoming a committee member. She has been telling stories for two years at a variety of venues around the Midlands and is a member of the Storyteller's studio group. Sarah loves to tell a range of stories from the fun and humorous to those with a darker twist.

Hailing from the magic-haunted Isle of Man, Kit Bathgate brings to the Midlands its tales of mystery, danger and strange creatures of land and sea. She was a regular audience member at Storytelling Cafe for several years before first joining in with floor spots and then moving behind the scenes as an organiser. Now she can usually be found taking care of the box office! She also runs Tales and Ales, a monthly club for anyone who wants to share a story.

Catriona is a member of The Birmingham Storytelling Café who has supported the café for more than two years. She lives in Birmingham and tells stories in a wide range of settings: libraries, gardens, community centre, schools and nurseries. She facilitates workshops and has also directed three community festivals. She is currently experimenting with combining storytelling with visual media for Hand to Mouth productions.

Graham started Storytelling Cafe with Katrice Horsley in 1998 and has produced storytelling events both locally and nationally ever since. He has toured in Britain and abroad telling stories in 13 countries. He pretends to be retired but he still runs the Storytelling Gymnasium training group and is a member of the Cafe Crew.

The Cafe Crew will bring to you a celebration of the bleak mid-winter and the Christmas story. We may face a flat Zoom screen but that doesn't stop us all being together.

You will have to bring your own wine and we can't provide the cake but we can provide good cheer, fun and some great storytelling.

So please join us at the link below:

COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS ZOOM CAFES

I just wanted to thank you and all the tellers I was able to enjoy and listen in with yesterday. 'Twas lovely! Sorry I needed to depart mid Kit's story...I chanced it by not leaving before as I so wanted to hear it.

Grateful, Tracy

Storytelling Cafe was a most enjoyable evening. There was a good mix of myth, magic and mayhem.... nicely linked with chat which is always fun as are the little yellow clap symbols. For those that are quick with unmuting and re-muting it was good to hear a few hands clapping.

It might not be a lock-in, or a lock-down or a lock-up but Christmas Cafe ain't going to be the same this year. But we still have stories, songs and good cheer. Christmas abounds with traditions, often embedded in every family as they always do that thing that their nan did.

Well, we are going to do all of the things that we have always done; bring mid-winter stories from around the world for you to share. There will be some songs and jokes and we may be able to sprinkle some magical storytelling glitter.

Doors open and food served from 6:30. Performances begin 7:30.

Entrance via Fletchers Bar
