EVENT REPORT — what's on in the kingdom.
The square is holding a story swap evening, and everyone is invited to bring a story — a short one, a long one, a true one, or one that is true in the important ways.
One slow evening loop of tellers, listeners, and hot drinks: no stage, no judging, no hurry at all. Tell a story if you like. Listen if you prefer. Swap seats as often as you like, and bring someone small, if you have someone small to bring. Grandparents, the notice says pointedly, tell excellent stories, and the young ones will love spotting the fire-rings overhead while they listen: great rings of golden fire, drifting high and slow, keeping pace with the evening like quiet guests.
It ends, as all good evenings should, with more hot drinks, and with everyone agreeing that the best story was the one they had not heard before.
