Surrey Storytellers is a group that promotes the art of storytelling for Adults, Young People and Children throughout the County of Surrey, in England.
Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment in the world and is also the way societies hand down their histories and values from one generation to the next. It is currently enjoying a revival thanks to a renewed interest in the folk arts which also include music, song and dance. There are lots of storytelling circles and events run across the UK, at which everyone is welcome – either to listen or tell a story of their own.

As October enfolds us in its slender arms, join us for a wonderful double bill featuring two fresh voices in the form of Posey Furnish and Francesca Mackenzie.
Firstly, Francesca will dive into a world of monsters where not everything is as it seems – after all, some monsters have hearts that are so precious they hide them away from the world so they are less likely to get broken.
Then, as the daylight dwindles further, watch the Fairy Bookmother turn into the Scary Bookmother as Posey tells tales that have haunted imaginations across the centuries.
Francesca is a storyteller (and archivist) spreading awareness on behalf of all sorts of monsters, from malignant dirty water to trolls to misrepresented vegetables and terrible witches.
Posey grew up in a 200-year-old haunted house on the edge of the woods in Vermont. As a children’s storyteller who visits schools, libraries and festivals, She works to bring books to life and life to books and stories in all that she does.
