Join us at The Armitt for Taffy's stories from Fairy Gold
As we enjoy Midsummer days and nights with our children and grandchildren on holiday, First UK Laureate for storytelling, Taffy Thomas, will entertain young and old alike with a programme of stories from the fairies.
About the storyteller
Taffy has a repertoire of more than 300 stories, collected mainly from traditional oral sources, which he is happy to tell in almost any situation. This repertoire was built by meeting and working with virtually all the great traditional storytellers who were alive in Britain. He is now the most experienced English storyteller, having performed in many countries on four continents.
In October 2009, Taffy accepted the honorary position of first Laureate for Storytelling which ran for two years from January 2010 to January 2012.
