SACRED HERBS OF BRITAIN
Join storyteller Claire Mace for a retelling of the story of Olwen, the giant’s daughter with hair yellower than the blossoms of the broom and cheeks pinker than the foxglove. Interweaving myths and magic, herbal lore and folk tales, this show shares stories of the plants and trees found in Olwen’s landscape, inspired by folklore from across Wales
