Animal Magic

Live Storytelling · Storytelling Court

Storytelling Court, Scottish Storytelling Centre, 43-45 High Street, Edinburgh EH1 1SR

Dates

• Sat 10 Oct 2026 · 11:00 · 1h 15m · £8

Travel to lands of myth and legend. Meet magical beasts and birds and bugs. Learn about wondrous creatures of our own world. Together, we’ll rediscover ways to enjoy and protect nature’s magic. Part interactive storytelling performance, part craft workshop, all fun!

Inspired by the storyteller's experience with the Jane Goodall Institute and Marine Conservation Society, Animal Magic invites young explorers and their grown-ups to (re)connect with the birds and beasts around us, retelling a classic Irish fairy tale to explore and celebrate the wonders of the natural world. Might their realness make these creatures all the more magical?
