SUMMARY:Pen & Think Event
DESCRIPTION:Stories have been plucked from the wind and passed down to us from ancient days\, with the aid of goose feathers. The quills of scribes fluttered over a thousand years ago to record tales that were much older.  \n\n\n\nCome and experience storyteller Simon Lidwell bringing a selection of these to life. The tales will be chosen to imagine how the place we know as Dumfries has formed. What stories would early Iron age tell when they forded the river?  Why did Devorgilla build a bridge to get people to Whithorn? After each story there will be the opportunity to reflect and chat. There will also be the opportunity to find out more about writing using a “good goose quill pen” and making medieval ink – and perhaps you might like to have a go! \n\n\n\nThe event will be free to access\, but donations gratefully received. \n\n\n\n\nBOOK HERE
