About the event

Matlock Storytelling Cafe presents: Tooth and Claw told by Shonaleigh and Simon Heywood
LIVE IN THE ROOM and ON THE ZOOM
Tooth and Claw - told by Shonaleigh and Simon Heywood

...and we're back. Did you miss us? We certainly missed you and to make up for having a month off we are starting our Autumn season with not one sensational storyteller, but two and a whole host of animal friends

TOOTH AND CLAW - Where would the heroes and heroines of old be without their animal helpers? Shonaleigh and Simon Heywood tell stories of mythical beasts, wondr'ous steeds and furry best friends, wild, weird and wonderful tales of our non-human kin.

Individually. they have both graced our stage in previous years but we are delighted to welcome them together for our September cafe. They are doyens of the Storytelling world and are the 'tellers most likely to hold some sort of Guiness World Record for story-related stuff'. Shonaleigh carries thousands of oral stories from the Jewish tradition and shares their magic, mystery and wisdom with audiences around the world. Simon holds a PhD on contemporary storytelling and is an author of 'The Legend of Vortigern' and 'South Yorkshire Folktales'.

We will be live and in the room and also streaming via Zoom. We're loving our international reach and enjoy the 'shout outs' to our global audience. So, if you're willing and able, schmooze on down to the Imperial Rooms in Matlock and join us live. If you're elsewhere in the world or can't join us live for whatever reason then kick back, feet up and click on the link.

We are delighted to tell you that soup, cakes, teas coffees etc are available from our kitchen. We do still operate with good old fashioned cash, kerching! so bring your purse to cross our palms with silver. You are still most welcome to bring a bottle of something with you.

There'll likely be a tune or two from Cage Of Crows and stories from our current resident tellers.

We urge you to book in advance as we cannot guarantee there will be tickets available on the door.

We at Matlock Storytelling Cafe are embracing our quest; to bring top quality performances to adult audiences.

Grab a ticket, turn off your phone and join us on a journey. Online ticket sales will close at 7pm on the night.
The doors opens at 7.00pm, stories and music 7.30-10
