Join storyteller and heritage artist Diana Olutunmogun for mysterious tales, cultural folklore and creative crafts at Valence House.
This October, the B.A.D. Fairy welcomes London-based storyteller and heritage artist Diana Olutunmogun for a special residency at Valence House.
Join Diana in the historic Parlour to uncover dark histories, hidden corners and rich cultural folklore through two immersive storytelling sessions.

Gather in the Parlour for a chilling tale inspired by mysterious local waters and folklore, followed by a hands-on spooky craft workshop.
1.30pm–3.00pm: Secret Spaces
