Birmingham Storytelling Cafe

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.

Wednesday 21st October

At Storytelling Cafe, every story we tell, we tell for a reason and all of our tales have a special place in our hearts. However, there are some stories in our repertoires that have made such a big impact on us that we can’t help but prize them above all the rest. Join the Cafe Crew and guests in October, when we will have the honour of telling some of our favourite tales. These are stories that have captured our imagination, filled us with wonder and, most importantly, connected with us in a meaningful way. We hope that by sharing these tales with you we can share the magic that drew us to these stories in the first place. Please join us for what is sure to be a special and personal evening of storytelling.

If you don't already have the Zoom link to join us on the night, email Graham

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.
