Easy Sundays: Under the Starry Sky
SISF 2026 | Family Event
(Sun 11 Oct: 11am)
Join storyteller Ailie Finlay and artist Catherine Lindow from My Kind of Book for sensory stories of birds and animals. Hear tales of happenings in the burrows and bird-boxes, dens and byres of Scotland at night. Join in with the stories, actions and props with lots of things to squish and shake!
Then enjoy a relaxed sensory art session inspired by the stories where you'll be making all kinds of dens for your birds and beasties. Fun for everyone but particularly suitable for children with additional needs and their families and friends.

Join us in the school holidays and throughout the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2026 for a selection of storytelling performances and events for all the family. This year’s Festival explores the rich relationship between storytelling and the natural world through the theme Bird and Beast. Across Scotland, from Shetland to Dumfries and Galloway, the Western Isles to Aberdeenshire, we invite audiences to discover stories that illuminate the place of bird and beast in our traditions, folklore and myths. Gather round, follow the trail of feathers and footprints, and let your imagination take flight.

This event is part of Easy Sundays, a fortnightly session of stories, music, community and friendship, with a variety of activities for all to enjoy. Supported by TRACS (Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland) and the Scottish Storytelling Centre to create a warm and welcoming space for the community.
Each child ticket entitles the booker to up to two accompanying adults free with additional adults costing £8. Please book a ticket below for everyone attending.
