Storytelling at the Totnes Festival

5th August 2022 The Totnes Pulse

People have been telling each other stories since the beginning of history. Humans have used stories to teach, communicate and entertain. In recent years the craft of storytelling has been undergoing a resurgence, and now enjoys a vibrant cultural scene across the UK – and particularly in Devon!

South Devon Storytellers are a local collective of performers who work with folklore and traditional narratives, and meet monthly in Totnes.
