Story Telling with Chris Adriaanse - The Northumbrian Tales

Step into the misty hills and craggy landscapes of Northumberland, where stories have been whispered across generations and the line between myth and reality has always been delightfully blurred.

Join renowned storyteller Chris Adriaanse as he brings to life the rich tapestry of Northumbrian folklore, a tradition that has shaped the region’s culture for centuries. From the haunting ballads of the 18th century to the tales handed down through families, these stories pulse with dragons, witches, fairies, and heroic figures navigating enchanted landscapes.

Discover the legendary Laidly Worm of Spindleston Heugh, a fearsome creature said to inhabit the iconic crag along Northumberland’s Great Whin Sill. Explore the mysteries of the Henhole Faeries, tiny tricksters hiding deep within the Cheviots Hills’ shadowy chasms.

Through Chris Adriaanse’s captivating storytelling, these ancient tales leap off the page and into your imagination. Experience the thrill of Northumbrian myths as if you were standing on the wind-swept hills yourself, hearing the echoes of dragons’ roars and the soft laughter of hidden faeries.

Step into the world of Northumberland’s legends — where every rock, ravine, and hill holds a story waiting to be told.
