Go Local: North Lanarkshire
(Sat 19 oct: 2:30pm & 7pm)
Join Jane Mather and Heather Yule for a modern fairytale about a paupers cemetery in the ruins of Hartwood psychiatric hospital, and the folk who care for the graves today. Storytelling and harp music will guide you into the faerie realm, where dreams are powerful and spirits abound.

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 held at the Shotts Community Education Centre, Kirk Road ML7 5ET and is ticketed at £5 (children free). For bookings and info click the link above or visit spotlightshotts.org.
