Another Crack in the Pennines

An afternoon and evening of stories and the spoken word.

For the second year running Richard and Jill welcome all to the Old Chapel in Coanwood (near Haltwhistle) for an afternoon and evening of story telling and the spoken word.

2.30: A welcoming cuppa!
3.00: Members and friends of A Bit Crack will share stories old and new, followed by a contribution from north east poets.
5.00: Refreshments of a light supper and assorted drinks.
6.30: Tim Ralphs and “Rebranding Beelzebub”, his innovative re-imaginings of traditional tales as he exhumes the bones of old Devil stories and stitches them into a new skin. His stories are darkly humorous with disturbing turns and a distinct whiff of sulphur.

Finally, at the end of the evening there will be a chance to talk informally with all contributors to the day.

Booking:
£8 (£6 hardship rate and £10 philanthropist rate) on the door.
We only have limited space at the Old Chapel, so in order for us to keep track of numbers please register for this event on Eventbrite
