| WHATS ON DURING NATIONAL STORYTELLING WEEK 2010 Watch this space |
| National Storytelling Week runs from the 31st of January to the 7th of February 2009. Started in 2000 by the Society for Storytelling to raise public awareness of this age-old artform, the first week in February was chosen as it is not too close to Christmas, and it coincides with Candlemas, which traditionally includes the blessing of the throat, a vital tool for storytellers. |
