Riding with Dragons - Tales under Trees

Tales under Trees - Riding with Dragons

The Glade is hosting a beautiful autumn afternoon of storytelling by the fire, with renowned Devon based storyteller Hannah Sneyd.

Enjoy our sheltered fire circle, grab some delicious cake and hot drinks all while listening to Hannah weave her story magic in the woods.

At times feared, at times worshipped, dragons are ancient, archetypal beings found across many cultures. From the mythical green dragon of Dartmoor to Chinese water dragons, dragon stories are the stories of the land itself. Hannah will share a range of scaly tales: Breathing fire, causing chaos and flying high on the wind. So come on down and let the dragons speak.

This is a family friendly event, with all ages welcome.
