Stone the Crones

Stone the Crones is a monthly spoken word night in Bristol featuring older/aging/elder women, plus accompanying creative workshops to write material, develop skills, build confidence & find community.

Stone the Crones is about finding our voices and reclaiming the concept of crone as a fierce, strong, wise elder woman.

Stone the Crones is about recognising the energy, wisdom, talent and creativity of older / aging / elder women. Bristol’s women have long been at the cutting edge of creativity in the city – it is important that as they age their experience skills cultural capital and strong fierce voices are not lost.

Stone the Crones is produced & hosted by Beccy Golding. In 2021 Beccy was awarded an Arts Council England Developing Your Creative Practice grant to develop her practice as a poet. In 2022 Bristol City Council awarded her an Originators grant to create Stone the Crones. Thank you to both.
