Jon The Storyteller: Gawain, the Green Knight and Other Winter's Tales

  • The Rose Hill 70 Rose Hill Terrace Brighton, England, BN1 4JL United Kingdom (map)

Wednesday 13th December | 7pm | £2.50 - £10 advance tickets

Another brilliant night of storytelling with Jon Mason.

Settle in for a timeless winter's adventure. Gawain, knight of Arthur’s court, takes up a fate-filled challenge from a stranger wreathed in green; it will lead him far from feast and fellowship, through winds and wilds, to a castle in a forest – but while help lies in strange places, dangers come from both outside and within…

Intertwined with frost-touched folktales from far and near, this is a spoken-word feast of magic, firelight and the depths of the greenwood.

All ages welcome.
