Charlie Markwick storytelling at Joe's YarnsYou’ll find stories galore at Joe’s Yarns, right on your doorstep in Cheltenham. It’s a simple idea: we meet at the wonderful Smokey Joe’s Coffee Bar (click here to browse their FaceBook page) in Bennington Street and we tell stories. Everyone is welcome whether you just want to listen or fancy sharing a story. Come along and be brave: try telling your story, it’s not competitive and you don’t have to be an accomplished yarner or a trained performance artist; you just share your story. We can guarantee there will be laughs, sighs and much much more.

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner Gloucestershire supports Joe's YarnsC BC LogoThe first year of this great experience was supported by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and Cheltenham Borough Council through a grant from the Cheltenham Late Night Levy Fund. Now we continue through the generosity of Vickie Godding and the fabulous Smokey Joe’s Coffee Bar.
