Created and designed by our Community Programming Board (CPB), CAMPFIRES brings together five community groups with storytellers to create fascinating fables to be told around the campfire. These co-created stories will be shared in this public performance on 12 March 2022.

The storytellers have been paired with community groups from within Slough to discover untold and untaught stories. Through a series of three workshops, led by the storyteller, community members will explore techniques and ways of storytelling, thinking creatively about their community and its place within Slough.

Within this collaboration, the storytellers will develop their own story, inspired by the workshops and the stories they have heard. The storytellers will then perform their stories to the community groups, in their own celebratory sharing, so that they experience the joy of storytelling and the power of their stories ahead of the public performance.
