Sacred Herbs of Britain with Claire Mace

Event information

Join Claire Mace for a retelling of the story of Olwen, the giant’s daughter, with hair yellower than the broom and cheeks pinker than the foxglove.
She leaves a trail of white clover wherever she walks, and is the heroine of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’, a tale from the mediaeval manuscripts of the Mabinogion.
Inspired by folklore from across Wales, this is Olwen’s territory. This show blends herb lore, folk tales and stories of the trees and plants to illuminate her landscape.
This traditional storytelling performance has been developed thanks to the Gwobr Esyllt Prize from Chwedl, the network of women storytellers in Wales.
