Come and join other IMC attendees for a late-night storytelling circle! This is our seventh storytelling circle at the IMC, offering relaxed entertainment and exploration of the world of spoken stories for tellers and listeners alike.

The art of oral storytelling in various forms was integral to the background of many works we now think of primarily as literary texts, and this is an opportunity to experience something of that as well as an alternative to the IMC's dance floor for those who want some quieter entertainment. Come to listen to and share riddles, poems, songs, and spoken stories, be they medieval, folkloric, or otherwise.

All are welcome to come and participate - no experience expected or needed - or just come and go as you please and relax and listen as the night draws in around us.

This event is sponsored by LUU Medieval Society. The LUU Medieval Society was formed in 2013 in order to promote a thriving community of medievalists at the University and in the city of Leeds. They regularly hold events such as film screenings, game nights, and workshops, as well as organising talks and day-trips to nearby medieval sites. Their goal is to create a fun and inclusive space for exploring all aspects of the medieval world, as well as more modern 'medievalisms'!
