BRING THE SOUTH DOWNS SKIES ALIVE WITH STORYTELLING!
Single ticket £18
Join traditional storyteller and author Dawn Nelson to map the dark skies of the Downs with Greek myths and moonlit tales.
Tales of buried moons, Greek deities, bears, swans and chimeras, join us in the great roundhouse, around the fire, as we will explore the night sky with the myths and legends of the stars and moon as our guide.
The South Downs enjoys gloriously dark skies, which is not only beneficial for nocturnal wildlife but also allows communities access to fabulous star filled canopies, night walks and astrophotography.
Dawn Nelson is a professional storyteller and author performing at festivals and events around the country. Her passion is connecting people with nature, history and the landscape that surrounds them, through the voices of our ancestors found in traditional storytelling.
There will be a bar selling locally produced cider, mead and a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Hot drinks and snacks will also be available to be purchased from our shop.
