Step into the glow of Wightwick Manor this autumn for a captivating evening of traditional Indian storytelling with acclaimed British Punjabi storyteller Peter Chand, marking the festival of Diwali.
In ‘Love & Lamplight’, Peter brings to life timeless tales of love, separation, war, demons and reconciliation; stories he has gathered from across India and translated into English, weaving them together with the evocative art and architecture of Wightwick Manor itself.
British Indian storyteller Peter Chand is one of Europe’s most renowned storytellers and is constantly in demand for his tales of life, love, and the supernatural. From a Punjabi background, he regularly visits family in India to collect and translate traditional folktales which he shares with audiences of all ages.
