Storytelling
Field System Presents FREE Storytelling at St Lawrence Chapel for all the family. Join us for an enchanting afternoon of oral storytelling to mark the Autumn Equinox. This special performance features two acclaimed Dartmoor-based storytellers who will weave together local community tales, gathered from the historic Widecombe Fair, with ancient folklore and the mysterious, nocturnal lives of Pine Martens and the forests they inhabit. Through these woven narratives, we will explore our deep connection to the land and what it means to coexist with species returning to our moorlands.
