THE GLENS
STORYTELLING
FESTIVAL
18th to 24th OCTOBER 2021
There's no stronger connection between people than storytelling...

Listen to fine stories and music in the heart of the Glens of Antrim
Due to continuing caution over Covid-19 restrictions this year's Glens Storytelling Festival cannot take place in its normal format as we would not want to compromise the health and safety of our community and visitors.
Members of the Glens Storytelling and Cultural Heritage Group have got together to create a virtual festival with events on seven days from Monday 18th to Sunday 24th October 2021. This is felt to be essential to hold a space for next year's festival and to remind our listeners of the beauty of The Glens area and of its rich heritage of storytelling and music.
Our local tellers and musicians have recorded stories many of them set in our stunning landscape and we will also be offering live zoom sessions and virtual sessions tailored to groups within our community including children and people who are living with dementia.
This year’s festival is being organised thanks to funding received by the Armstrong Storytelling Trust
www.armstory,org.uk and from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. This is enabling us to organise a wide range of events for audiences both at home and abroad. We are partnering with Libraries NI for the children’s sessions and the festival will feature not just local storytellers but those from around the world.
