Storytelling Event: Ordinary Stories - Change

Ordinary Stories is a storytelling event for the LGBTQ+ community, where we can share experiences and conversation, and connect with others in a casual and intimate setting. We welcome all forms of storytelling: stories, poems, songs, or unplanned rambles. If you’d like to tell a story, you can sign up via the form on the event page. There will also be a sign up sheet on the night. If you change your mind after signing up, not to worry, you're still welcome to come and just enjoy the event.

The next theme is ~ CHANGE ~ Some ideas for things to talk about: Wind, water, sea, storms; cooking in a new kitchen; meeting a friend for the first time; moving house, moving country, changing job; your family history; resistance to change; history as change; spring flowers; growing up; breaking up; organising a protest; strength in difference; acts of solidarity

Because this event is held during LGBT History Month, we especially welcome stories about any aspect of LGBTQ+ history (your own or others). This event will be held in the All Good Bookshop in Turnpike Lane. Ordinary Stories is open to all members of the LGBTQ+ community and we welcome allies as audience members.

Venue Information: The event will be at The All Good Bookshop, 35 Turnpike Ln, Harringay Ladder, London N8 0EP. A selection of snacks and drinks will be available for everyone on the night. There is a small single step into the café and a ramp available to use. Unfortunately the bathroom is not wheelchair accessible as there is a narrow step up to the bathroom. There is a fully accessible bathroom in the pub across the road. The closest tube station is Turnpike Lane (5 mins walk), and the closest train station is Hornsey Train Station (9 mins walk). The bookshop is also accessible by bus.

You can book tickets through outsavvy.
