Scottish Folktales: Bridges to the Otherworld
Go Local: Dumfries & Galloway
(Sat 19 Oct: 7pm)
Folklorist Allison Galbraith and storyteller Beverley Casebow will enthral you with stories from the Otherworld. Our ancestors’ belief in a world of spirits and ethereal beings has bestowed a wealth of supernatural stories on Scotland. Join us for an entertaining evening with vexed fairies, nature wisdom and much humour.

2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 1989, SISF has been building bridges between cultures, artists and audiences all over the world through the power of storytelling – connecting past, present and future. This year’s theme is ‘Bridges Between’. At a time where literal, figurative and societal walls continue to be constructed, we invite everyone to look beyond these boundaries and to celebrate the last and the next 35 years of storytelling with us.
This event is free and drop-in. It takes place at the Riverside Tap, 5 Friars Vennel, DG1 2RQ. As the premises are licensed, children must be accompanied by an adult. For more info click the link above.
