Gather around – a story is starting…

Stories From the Floor is a FREE, open mic storytelling night at The Met, for all those who revel in folklore, myth and legend!

Produced by The League of Curiosity and funded by Culture Bury, this free event welcomes everyone – seasoned storytellers, first-time taletellers, and those who simply love to listen.

Whether your story is heartfelt, hilarious, haunting or completely ridiculous, there’s a place for it here.

✨ 5-minute storytelling slots
✨ Guest storyteller performance
✨ Creative storytelling activities to loosen up your imagination
✨ A safe, supportive space where every voice matters
✨ Listeners warmly welcomed!

Settle into our carefully curated, comforting space, lit by candlelight. Feel the hush before the first word. Share a memory. Spin a myth. Confess a comedy of errors. Or simply sit back and let the stories wash over you.

This is storytelling as it’s meant to be – human, immediate, and shared.
