About Fantastical Tales from Around the World
with Mike Payton
Storyteller Mike Payton brings fantastic stories to life in these sessions ideal for 0-7s and their grown-ups. The tales could be funny, strange, magical or very silly indeed…expect the unexpected!
Mike loves finding lesser known stories to surprise and delight his listeners, and adapts his tales for each separate audience. We might meet talking mice, angry lions, spoilt princes or hungry dragons – and hear stories about the natural world…come and see what Mike digs up from the story mine! These sessions will also include some of the stories that have been created with the children at Pen Green Centre in Corby as part of our ArtFULL project.
