Join the award-winning modern folk trio Harp and a Monkey for a magical evening of song and storytelling - of 'Tall Tales and Truths' - in the intimate setting of our downstairs hall.

Known for their captivating live performances, you can expect these acclaimed Lancastrians to deliver an enchanting mix of true (and not-so-true) tales taking in everything from naked lifesavers to guerilla gardeners to ill-fated medieval pilgrimages. Armed with a rich array of instruments (harp, banjo, guitar, glockenspiel, accordion and more), these wonderful musicians and raconteurs deliver poignancy and humour suitable for all ages and tastes.

Pull up a chair and gather around for a warm, conversational show that will make you feel like you're sharing stories and songs around the fireside. Whether you’re a folk music aficionado or just looking for a night of great music, heartfelt stories and laughter, this show will leave you uplifted and inspired.
