YARN Storytelling Festival

Welcome to YARN Storytelling Festival 2026, brought to you by Mermaid Arts Centre.  

Now celebrating our 17th year, YARN is a community-based non-profit making festival that strives to bring the art form of storytelling to as many people of all ages in the community as possible.

This year's festival will run from 7th to 15th November 2026. 

Our YARN Story Circle takes place on the first Wednesday of the month from February to June and then in September and October before culminating in a Story Swap in The Harbour Bar at the YARN Storytelling Festival.
