Seanchoíche is coming to Cork with spoken stories on the themes of love and home

By Yay Cork July 1, 2024June 28, 2024

We love to listen to a good ‘oul story.

Now a fascinating and wildly popular storytelling event that gives folks from all walks of life the chance to share a tale or a personal anecdote is coming to Cork for a two-night run as part of Magic Nights by the Lee this August.

Seanchoíche is a storytelling events platform founded in Dublin that currently runs in several countries across Ireland, the UK, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, USA, Australia, South Africa and further afield.

They host nights for people from all corners to come and listen and engage with spoken stories, ranging from personal anecdotes, monologues, fictional narratives, to poetry pieces and anything in between.

A post shared by Seanchoíche (@seanchoiche)

“… it is difficult to put into words the emotions felt in that room.” says previous speaker Byron Cottam.

“From nearly falling off your chair from laughter to weeping over the hardship someone has been through. It is a safe space where people can share their stories, whatever that may be.”

Seanchoíche comes to Cork City for the first time in August for two consecutive nights on August 14th and August 15th with the themes of Love and Home. Tickets are €20 here.

You can volunteer to tell a story here: seanchoiche.com/tellyourstory.
