Backstories Festival

Backstories – Wellard

Pack a picnic, hear from two trained storytellers, and mingle with local members of your community!

Oct 1, 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Wellard Pavilion

Backstories is a multi-sited storytelling festival located in the suburbs of Western Australia. Spend a lazy afternoon with friends and family and hear from two trained storytellers. Pack a picnic, bring something to sit on, and put your mingling hat on – it’s going to be a rippa arvo!

Featuring storytellers Saadia Ahmed and Colin Archibald with music by Natasha Meyers, and facilitated by Harjit Singh.


WHAT TO BRING

Bring your own snacks, drinks, or a picnic dinner. Please make sure you bring a picnic rug or a lawn chair to sit on as seating is not provided.
