Storytelling

Folk Tales in Focus: The Norwegian Collectors & Scotland


(Mon 27 Oct: 5pm)

Pioneering Norwegian, German and Scottish folk tale collectors inspired each other. Norwegian storyteller Mimesis Heidi Dahlsveen reveals some salty riches gathered by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, for contemporary adult audiences.

The Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2025 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!
