Fairy Circle


Part of Fair Saturday 2025

(Sat 29 Nov: 12pm)

Come along to the home of Scottish storytelling for a drop-in session of traditional tales with storytellers Mark Borthwick and Alice Fernbank. Suitable for all ages, these two expert storytellers will welcome anyone into their fairy circle for as many stories, myths, riddles and wondertales as they would like.

The storytellers have also been given the magic key to the John Knox House museum, and can give participants access for free. With something to amuse every bouche, tickle every funnybone and beguile every intellect, this will be a jolly ceilidh that will be suitable for all ages.

This event is part of Fair Saturday, a global mobilisation that aims to create a positive social impact every last Saturday of November, the day following Black Friday, the greatest expression of consumerism. Artists and cultural organisations from all over the world get together in a global festival of arts for change.
