An evening of local folk tales and brilliant contemporary folk music. Marianne Powell, local storyteller, will be telling two Fenland tales – spooky, mysterious and uplifting. Orphean Sprig, instrumental folk band, will bring their trademark arrangements creating a rich texture and original sound.

Expect foot-tapping tunes, fascinating tales and a hint of audience participation (for those who want it).
