Who are we?

Pat Renton has worked as a storyteller for over 15 years and has gathered stories from many cultures across the world.

She believes that the beauty of stories is that they are for everyone and over the past years she has had the experience of working with all ages and in all kinds of places. Drawing people into the world of story is a magical thing to do.

Working in schools she encourages participation through rhyme, art, music, song, games and even dancing and in workshops she gives the opportunity for children and adults to create their own stories, share ideas and experiences and let their imaginations run free.

Chris Bostock is a storyteller of great range and humour.

He tells stories from local legends to the great myths, ghost or fairy stories, jokes or ancient epics, in a style which is completely his own and is loved by his audiences.

He is also an entertainer of great inventiveness and creativity. He loves involving other people in the process of both storytelling and story-making and is always full of original and bright ideas for engaging people. He is as much at home working with a crowd in a football stadium or Theatre as he is with 5 pensioners in a day centre or a classroom of young people.He has a great gift for getting people of different ages and backgrounds to delight in each other’s stories.

Underneath all of the humour there lies a deeply compassionate and interested person committed to developing the art of storytelling. His enormous experience in the world of stories and workshops makes his listeners feel good about who they are and what they do.
