Theatre | New Exhibition | Multi-Sensory Storytelling | Workshops
This week is the beginning of our Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival events that aim to challenge the preconceived ideas about mental health.
On Wednesday our new exhibition of fairy paintings will be on display in the Storytelling Court. We have a multi-sensory storytelling session on Saturday morning, The Story Kist, which can be enjoyed by all ages, but is particularly good for children with special needs. The true story of, Angus: Weaver of Grass is back at the Centre with two performances this Saturday. The audience reviews speak for themselves - "Absolutely amazing and and inspirational. What a truly unique experience" - it's a must see.
You can also develop your own storytelling skills with us on Saturday at our workshop, Starting with Stories 2, run by professional storyteller, Fiona Herbert.
Below is everything you need to know about the events and how to buy tickets.
Wishing you all a great week,
Catriona and Lindsay
