A Dispute with a Butterfly (at the Botanics)
SISF Family Event
(Sun 26 Oct: 12pm, 1pm & 2pm - Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh)
Step into a soft, sensory storytelling experience, following the incredible journey of the Painted Lady Butterfly. Every year she travels 9000 miles all over the world ensuring the survival of her entire species. Impossible to complete alone, the journey happens across five generations. Through puppetry, participation and play, Fibi Cowley shows us what we can learn from this incredible creature, and how past generations can inspire us to make the world a better place.
Please meet at the Botanic Cottage in the Demonstration Garden and dress for the weather!

Join us in the school holidays and across the Festival for a selection of storytelling performances and events for all the family as part of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2025. The Festival tracks a rich northern arc which bridges Finland to Iceland, and connects Germany to Norway, with Scotland a sea road junction in the middle. Don’t miss out on the tales and music or the close experience of nature. As winter gathers round the hearth fires, look north to join the merry dancers in the sky!
