Tales at the Packhorse
Tales From The Dead Of Night
We had a fantastic time telling stories at the Packhorse for Halloween.
The hall was sold out and the audience seemed to really enjoy themselves. We had some fantastic chilling stories from Clare Reddaway, Doc Watson and Stephanie Weston. We look forward to coming back to the Packhorse in 2022!
Stories Around The Fire
January 2020, The Packhorse, South Stoke
We visited The Packhorse in South Stoke in January to tell some stories. It was a great success – the audience snuggled up around a cosy fire with a glass of wine or mug of steaming hot chocolate, while they listened to the tales – just the ticket for a grey January night!
Local writer Clare Reddaway teamed up with fellow authors Mark Rutterford and Elaine Miles to bring the audience a medley of stories especially selected for their entertainment. It was an engrossing evening of warmth, drama and laughter.
The event went down very well with The Packhorse, and they have asked us back in the spring. Dates to follow soon!
