Darker Tales & Fairy Stories for Grown Ups...
All good stories get better the later and darker it becomes.
Join storyteller Gav Cross and perhaps a late night ghost or two.
Certainly a twist on some old classics.
Almost certainly a smile.
Perhaps a nervous glimpse over the shoulder?
As we scratch our way into the darker routes of the stories we think we know.“Gav Cross treats children like they're horrible and adults like they're children and the results are hilarious and magical. Gav brings energy, joy and a refreshing approach to traditional storytelling, getting the audience involved and keeping them on their toes with the unexpected twists and turns of his tales.”
Larmer Tree FestivalThe audience were hooked by every word as they were led a merry dance through stories.”
Pound Arts“... just on the right side of darkly comic... ”

Ladies Night at Albrighton Hall – For Single Ladies Who Want to Make Friends
📍 Albrighton Hall, Shrewsbury
📅 8th May 2026Making friends gets harder the older we get.
People settle down, routines change, and suddenly it’s not as easy to just “meet new people” anymore.
This night is here to change that.
It’s a space for single women to meet, chat, and build new friendships, without any pressure or awkwardness.
How the evening works
First Hour – Getting to Know Each Other
This part is structured so you don’t have to think about who to talk to.• You’ll move around in small groups
• You’ll have simple conversation starters to get things flowing
• There’ll be a few light games to make it easierIt’s relaxed, guided, and takes away that “where do I start?” feeling.
Then… the Disco
Once everyone’s warmed up, we move into a proper night out.
• Music
• Dancing
• Chatting with the people you’ve metTheme: Pyjama Party (optional)
We encourage you to come along in your comfy pjs - but this is optional, so if this isn't for you, no pressure, come along in something you do feel comfortable in.
Who it’s for
• Single ladies of any age who want to meet new friends.
Coming on your own?
Most people will be.
That’s exactly why it works.Spaces are limited
This has been highly requested and is expected to fill, so don't wait! -
