AN international line up of speakers has been announced for a new festival celebrating Scotland’s ancient Nordic connections and close ties with Canada.
Running from October 7-16, the Northern Stories Festival will welcome performers and storytellers from the Highlands, Scandinavia and Canada, in a programme of online and in-person talks, workshops, films and exhibitions.
Highlights include Circo Rum Ba Ba’s The Tale Of Whale which will see a 50ft sperm whale wash up in the heart of Wick. Families will be welcomed inside the belly of the beast to hear seafaring stories of pirates battling plastic and explore mermaid museums.
