Bothy Tales

Tea and cake available - Please donate seperately.

Limited tickets available. Small intimate venue.

In a remote Highland bothy, a traveller finds shelter from the storm. In his rucksack he has coal for the fire, candles to ward off the darkness, and a little whisky to bring some cheer. The wanderer invites you into his world.

There are stories of wild places, with near death adventures on ice wreathed cliff faces. Tales of dark deeds in distant bothies and even a brush with royalty. There is also a striking piece of theatre, looking back at the struggles of working-class folk, fighting to establish their right to wander the hills.

Come and join John, smell the woodsmoke and be transported to a world where all you have is what is packed on your back and the dreams that you follow.

Bothy Tales is directed by Gerry Flanagan, Shifting Sands Theatre Company.
