Resident Storytellers

Sarah

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.

Kit Bathgate

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 Heatherington

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.

Chained Down

The Cafe Crew

Wednesday 15th July

The Cafe Crew are back, hosted by Keith Rogers, with more stories to entertain and entrance you. Nothing can stop this intrepid team of tellers from transporting their tales - except a poor internet connection. Join us as we bring Birmingham Storytelling Cafe straight to your home via Zoom.

At the moment, joining together even though we’re apart is vital and what better way to connect than by listening to a good story? Therefore, the crew are celebrating togetherness by presenting an evening of interlinked stories passing the banner from one to another. Sit back in your favourite chair, pour a glass of your favourite drink and let us take you on adventures far and wide without breaking a single social distancing guideline.

To get the Zoom link to join us on the night email Graham.

The event is free to attend, but donations will be greatly appreciated!
