Saturday 21 September 2024
St Mary’s Church Kidlington
St Mary’s was full when Sir Philip Pullman and Jeremy Spafford (founding Director of The Old Fire Station) spoke on Storytelling. This was a truly wonderful evening where we rejoiced in a story of the importance of every tortoise, and heard how story-telling formed Sir Philip. Jeremy spoke too of the healing power for refugees of telling their stories.
