Sophie Snell is a professional storyteller based just outside Derby.  A warm, engaging and lively performer, she entertains both children and adults.

Sophie regularly performs at public events, festivals, storytelling clubs, schools, libraries, museums and art galleries.  She also leads workshops and inset training sessions for schools.

Her repertoire is drawn from traditional folk tales both from the British Isles and around the world.  She loves to tell stories that twist and turn, finding the unexpected, the comical and the intriguing.

“Enchantment, passion and intrigue, stories to send a shiver down your back or make you laugh out loud.  Bringing a story alive with voice, movement and humour, watching children giggling and entranced, or adults hooked by the story, is a magical life and I relish every moment of it!”  Sophie Snell

Sophie’s storytelling has been described variously as:

“Gripping!  We didn’t want it to end!”  “Delightful storytelling - Sophie has a wicked sense of humour!” Audience comments.

“Those gifted with storytellling weave an invisible web that draws the listener into the tale without you realizing what’s happening.  Sophie Snell is one of those storytellers whose voice mesmerizes you while images form in your mind as the tale unfolds.”  Cindy Vallar, reviewing Sophie’s storytelling.
