Dave Tong - Storyteller


Free event suitable for all ages! Stories of Medieval Mayhem, Mystery and Mirth meet with Terrible Tudor Tales at Hall Place and Gardens this Summer.

Come one, come all, and listen to our storyteller, Dave Tonge, the Yarnsmith of Norwich as he transports you back to long, long ago. Gather close and hear tell ancient stories and mind mangling riddles well suited to this beautiful old house and it’s long history. Tales of wise fools and foolish wise, of lazy long limbed lads, of miserly merchants, and poor penniless pedlars. Tales of long buried treasure, of cruel kings, clever queens and even a plain and simple radish that was worth 100 gold coins!

Old, young, rich and poor, all are welcome to join the Yarnsmith for a tale, or two, or even three…

Free event, find him in his tent in the gardens. All children must be accompanied by an adult
