Programmes
for Adults
Storytelling isn't just for kids! Marguerite is expert in choosing tales to appeal to the minds, imaginations, emotions and sense of humour of grown-ups.
A programme is usually 30 to 45 minutes long. A series of tellings can be given at the same venue or event.
Marguerite's work takes her to parties, feasts, balls, fundraisers, outings, picnics, barbecues, fêtes, fairs, festivals, walks, libraries, museums, colleges, theatres, family gatherings, bookshops, stores, art galleries, gardens, woodlands, stately homes, retirement, nursing and care homes, day centres, meetings of the WI, the Townswomen's Guild, the U3A and various other clubs and societies.
