Experience storytelling Saxon-style with a performance of Beowulf, the oldest story in the English language. Seated around an open fire in a Saxon longhall, you’ll hear the story performed by bard Lizzie Bryant in modern English in two acts. The evening will include authentic musical entertainment and hot refreshments at the interval.
