(Fri 27 Feb: 7:30pm)
Join guest storyteller Caroline Carmichael for a celebration of Gaelic stories and culture as part of Seachdain na Gàidhlig 2026 (World Gaelic Week). Expect rich and varied tales of warriors and mythical creatures, which have inspired generations of storytellers, musicians, poets and artists.
Another fun and friendly session of Edinburgh’s monthly storytelling club held upstairs in the Waverley Bar, with the usual open-floor section for anyone to share a story, song or poem around the theme or otherwise. This event will be bi-lingual and open to Gaelic and non-Gaelic speakers.
