To celebrate Scotland’s Year of Stories, the Japanese Garden at Cowden has been exploring mythical tales linked to its history and that of Ella Christie, the Garden’s creator, who was a keen traveller.

Storyteller Lindsey Gibb will paint a vivid picture of the countries Ella travelled to by telling the stories she might have heard as she rode down dusty tracks, sailed the seas and explored the sights. Hear about the Tanuki – a Japanese mythical creature – and other tales from around the world.

Suitable for age 8+. Welcome and warmth provided!

Sessions are free to attend with the Garden entrance price (£0 - £8.50). Pre-booking is essential through the Japanese Garden’s website, with limited spaces available.

Sessions will take place twice a day at 11am-12.30pm and 2-3.30pm.
