Welcome to Cowal’s first Storytelling Festival - Once Upon a Time in Cowal – A Weekend of Winter’s Tales.
2022 is the Scottish Year of the Story, so in celebration we have put together an exciting weekend of storytelling. Utilising some of our much loved community spaces to come together, enjoy and share some of the best of Scottish storytelling.
We are working together with venues across Cowal to deliver a weekend that contains at its heart: fun and laughter, a sense of community, celebration of the art of traditional and contemporary storytelling, good food and friends and last but by no means least a bit of fireside magic. So please get ready to welcome Once Upon a Time in Cowal this Winter.
