Fantastical Tales From Around The World | Family Arts Festival 2025

About Fantastic Tales from Around the World

Storyteller Mike Payton brings stories to life in these sessions for all the family. The tales could be funny, strange, magical or very silly indeed. Expect the unexpected…

Mike loves finding lesser known stories to surprise and delight his listeners, and adapts his tales for each separate audience. We might meet talking mice, angry lions, spoilt princes or hungry dragons – and hear stories about the natural world…come and see what Mike digs up from the story mine!
