“I’ve been to a lot of storytelling up and down the country, and this is as good as it gets”  Ronald Hutton, Bath Literature Festival

Kirsty has been telling stories professionally to adults and children of all ages since 2000. She came to storytelling with a lifelong love of stories and the past, and a background in drama, history and education. She has performed in theatres, bookshops, festivals, woods, museums, gatherings, parties, libraries and cafes all around the country with solo and with storytelling company Fire Springs. Kirsty has a relaxed and informal fireside style suitable for intimate gatherings, but is equally comfortable with high energy, theatre style performance. She enjoys telling traditional tales from all over the world, and specialises in stories drawn from the past—whether from history, art, science or myths. She has lived abroad and enjoys travelling and likes to bring local colour to all her storytelling.

Kirsty is available to perform in theatres, schools, heritage sites, festivals and at informal private events.
