Thank you to everyone who has supported the Winter Tales festival of stories.

Sadly, the many cuts in arts and community funding have led to the demise of this festival, which has run successfully for three years and brought performers of international repute to this quiet corner of Kent.
 
Small Beginnings would like to thank all our performers, supporters and audience members for some very memorable events. We are sorry that we cannot continue to bring you more.
 
Special thanks to Tony Cooper, resident storyteller of Sandwich and the King of Fools, for introducing us to the noble art of storytelling.

 
Winter Tales has featured workshops and performances from:

HUGH LUPTON - CHRIS WOOD - BEN HAGGARTY - NICK HENNESSEY - XANTHE GRESHAM - SHERRY ROBINSON - TONY COOPER - THE YARNSMITH OF NORWICH - JACQUELINE SUMMER - RUFFEGE - THE THEATRE OF THE SMALL - RAVENTALES - ROBERT POULTER'S NEW MODEL THEATRE - JANE CLARKE - CARL MERRY - RUTH COOKE -
plus Fools' lantern parade with Rough Musicke and the KING of FOOLS, tales from the floor, animated film and exhibition
