A local writer and musician are joining forces once again to tell stories in Springfields Gardens on Saturday (May 23).
Award winning storyteller, writer and event producer Ryan Gilmartin joins Moulton-born musician, composer, orchestrator and guitarist Dave Malkin to bring local history and heritage to life amid the beautiful gardens of Springfields Horticultural Society.
Each session features an immersive programme of stories, poems and riddles created especially for the gardens they will take place in.
A spokesman for Springfields Horticultural Society, said: “They will be bespoke works that draw directly on the history, character and spirit of the gardens themselves.
“Designed to invite deep listening and genuine connection, the event draws visitors into a shared world built from the landscape around them, making each session feel both intimate and alive.”
Becky Kirtland, education and outreach coordinator at Springfields Horticultural Society, said: “We wanted to create something that truly reflects the spirit of Springfields — a chance for families to gather in this special place and experience it through story.
“Ryan and Dave have such a gift for drawing people in, and we know this is going to be a wonderfully memorable afternoon.
“Events like this are at the heart of what we do: bringing the community together and helping people connect with the gardens in a new way.”
The 30 minute shows are at 11am, 12pm and 1.30pm.
Tickets are just £3.41 and per person and can be booked in advance at https://bit.ly/4t9gSFd
