Tales from the Hill:
During the non-summer season, on the second Thursday evening of each month, we present Tales from the Hill at the Guelph Civic Museum, 52 Norfolk St. It typically features a guest teller in addition to Guild tellers. The evening includes hot cider, light refreshments, and conversation. Guests are invited to register for a telling or participate during the open mic storytelling.
The in-person and virtual doors open at 6:30 for casual socializing, call to order at 7:00 for storytelling until 8:15, with an 11 minute intermission, followed by time at the end for more visiting and always, hot cider/goodies : >)

Tea ‘n’ Tales
Summer Friday mornings at, gathering at 10 am to live music, listeners come to hear stories starting at 10:30 in Guelph Enabling Garden in Riverside Park. What a sublime setting to listen to stories! There is excitement and buzz around the successful collaborative project between the city's Enabling Garden and the Guelph Guild of Storytellers. Free-will contributions are shared 50/50 between them.
The quality portable sound system was thanks to a grant and the donations.
