Explore the magical art of oral storytelling. Find storytelling events across the UK, search our directory of Storytellers, use our resource guides and attend our annual Storytelling Gathering. In every culture, stories from the shortest fable to the greatest epics, have helped us share our beliefs and understand the mystery of being human. Join us and become a member of the Society for Storytelling.
The Society for Storytelling is a registered charity based in the UK that was first founded in 1993. It aims to promote and celebrate the oral tradition of storytelling as an inclusive, social and cultural activity. The SfS Board of Trustees, national representatives and members, foster a community of shared experiences, raising awareness about the power of storytelling as a medium for education, entertainment, and cultural preservation.
Be a part of it all and help support storytelling as an art form. You can join up as a professional or as a supporter. Tell us what’s going on in your storytelling world. If you want to talk to us about what you’d like to see the SfS doing or to join our friendly team of volunteers, please get in touch via the contact page.
