Join storyteller and heritage artist Diana Olutunmogun for a day of mysterious tales, cultural folklore and creative crafts at Valence House.
Diana’s final residency day brings a month-long exploration of Villainy, the Other, and the Unknown to a close. Settle into the historic Parlour for two immersive storytelling sessions uncovering dark histories, hidden corners and stories passed down through generations.
After each storytelling session, take part in a Craft Lab workshop and make your own creepy souvenir to take home. Expect plenty of imagination and some wonderfully messy making.
11.00am–12.30pm: Legends of the Shadows
Gather in the Parlour for a journey through ancient tales and mysterious lore, followed by a hands-on spooky craft workshop.
1.30pm–3.00pm: Tales from Beyond
Discover forgotten stories and enchanting cultural myths brought to life, before getting creative in a messy craft session.
