Storytellers

Discover the voices telling Cornwall's favourite stories.

Before there were televisions or tablets, before there were books or phones, people told stories, always have done. Cornish tales were told by everyone young and old; in families, at feasts, by firesides, by elders and wandering droll tellers and miners drolling around. Now the tales are told in new ways, in performance and in digital media.

Meet the tellers bringing stories alive in Cornwall today in the old way with the spoken word, continuing this oral tradition.
