Storyteller, Show Off, and Chief Idiocy Wrangler Gav Cross brings old fables vividly to life by adding twists to tales you think you know, revealing the dark, the terrible and the downright silly! You’ll have heard these stories before but not told like this!

An hour of nonsense and nastiness that will trigger giggles and gasps.

This event is part of Story Explorer Day…
A fun-filled day-long celebration of stories and books for families with children under 11 years.

Produced by Word Up North, Skipton Town Hall, Skipton Library and North Yorkshire Council. Presented in partnership with Bradford Grammar School. Supported by Arts Council England.
