Come closer, don’t be shy! Let these stories from different corners of the world into your living room, put those tips into practice… and share with us your story.

Storytelling is one of the oldest methods of communication and helps us share our history, heritage and culture with others through music, dance, performance and spoken word.

The Digital Festival of Storytelling will be a free weeklong online programme from a vibrant variety of storytellers, talks and workshops from Monday, 6 February until Sunday, 12 February.  The programme will be complemented by a toolkit of video tips from our storytellers to help you put together your own stories in creative and imaginative ways.

From 13 February to 6 March we will open our inbox to your stories – record them and be part of the oral history collection of Hounslow!

Your stories can be about the tales you or your family members were told as a child, family myths or how you ended up in Hounslow. You will have three weeks to send us your stories, which will form part of an archive for the borough.
