Scottish International Storytelling Festival

For the first time we've partnered with the Scottish Storytelling Centre to place storytellers with Doors Open Days venues for free storytelling sessions throughout the month of September. 

Their Scottish International Storytelling Festival takes place in the latter half of October and will feature a range of events across Scotland. 

The Big Scottish Story Ripple 2024
Monday 7 October – Thursday 30 November
Schools and community groups can apply for funded storytelling sessions delivered by a Scottish Storytelling Forum professional storyteller, we cover the cost of the storyteller’s fee and in return, applicants offer a good deed back to their community on or before St Andrew’s Day (30th Nov) – continuing the ripple of kindness!

Last year 28 local areas across Scotland took part, accumulating 125 Storytelling events in total. This year, The Big Scottish Story Ripple hopes to make an even bigger splash with more events and more acts of kindness happening across Scotland.
