Hello! We are The Story Exchange, and its lovely to see so many excited faces. And I believe you're here to hear some spooky story telling? Great. Well, you've come to the right place, because stories are what we do best. Now, Freddie, do you have the story? No? Oh.........
Luckily for us, our audience turned out to be story telling experts (wish they'd have told us THAT sooner) and together we penned (and performed) a terrifying tale of kind witches, nasty witches, enchanted trees and bubbling cauldrons. Our story began in a spooky house on the stroke of midnight, complete with necessary rustling trees and hooting owls, and our friendly any-kind-of-witch is hard at work, brewing potions.
Nearby, however, a coven of ghastly nasty witches (with fantastically scary faces) are also hard at work, brewing evil potions that can turn people to ice. All ends happily though, with the help of a magical moving tree, some beautiful flowers and a very convincing cauldron, and the nasty witches become really rather friendly, just in time.
This was the barrows first outing to the Phoenix, and we had a wonderful time, and hope to return in the near future! Thank you to all our expert story makers, monster artists and wish bird owners, and to our lovely back row of enthusiastic adults who offered up some marvellous sound effects.
Next stop for Belinda the Barrow and the Exchange staff- Ruth and Dan's wedding!
