LISBURN CITY LIBRARY YARNSPINNERS WITH STEPHEN O?HARA

Stephen O’Hara learned to tell stories in the classroom where he taught English, and then in Ireland’s only storytelling café, Café Revive in Cushendall. His stories bring the past of this place into the present, memorialising lost characters and making sense of superstitions, legends and truth.

Expect to laugh, to wonder and to wipe a tear as he tells through the past and into the present day.
Contact the Library to book your place.
Suggested donation £3.
