Beeston Tales - the Hairy Girl

A hybrid event - in-person and livestreamed - details below:

Once upon a time there was a king and a queen who lived in a castle full of gold, diamonds and good food, but they didn't have any children... This is the very ordinary beginning to one of the wildest of Scandinavian fairy tales! The Hairy Girl thunders through the world on her goat, beats up troll hags, saves her sister from a grim destiny, and uses all her cunning to find a future for them both.

Kersti Ståbi remixes this old tale with the power of Japanese Taiko drumming - music you can hear with your eyes, with its martial arts influences and dynamic use of the drummer's body.

Also featuring music, tales from your hosts, fun and frolics!

IN-PERSON TICKETS £8 on the door or £6.50 in advance from https://www.tickettailor.com/events/beestontales/

Doors 19:00 for a 19:30 start.

VENUE! We'll be meeting in the Church Hall, 25 Foster Avenue, Beeston, NG9 1AE, a short walk up from Beeston Tram Stop or across from Beeston Library. Parking available at the venue.

CAFE! - The DoughMother will be returning with tea, coffee and home baked treats. Their cheesecake changed my life. And you can Bring Your Own Bottle if you fancy something stronger.

LIVESTREAM: If you're unable to join us in person, there's now an option for you to watch along from home. Now with improved audio, but still a discounted price while we experiment with our kit.
