Tales of Travellers and Fools by Ian Douglas

Boat dweller and storyteller Ian Douglas, has a storytelling career that spans 32 years, he was first inspired to begin his journey by the late great Scottish traveller, Duncan Williamson. Ian has held the prestigious title of Fool of Muncaster Castle and was apprenticed to the renowned storyteller Taffy Thomas MBE, during Taffy's three year stint as Storytelling  Laureate. Along the way Ian has collected many a tale and we are delighted that he is bringing a choice, curated collection of them to us in Matlock.  Join us as he regales us with stories of Travellers and Fools, it’s sure to be an evening of jolly japes.

We will be live and in the room and also streaming via Zoom. We're loving our international reach and enjoy the 'shout outs' to our global audience. So, if you're willing and able, schmooze on down to the Imperial Rooms in Matlock and join us live. If you're elsewhere in the world or can't join us live for whatever reason then kick back, feet up and click on the link.

We are delighted to tell you that soup, cakes, teas coffees etc are available from our kitchen.  We do still operate with good old fashioned cash, kerching! so bring your purse to cross our palms with silver. All monies from the kitchen help to fund our ongoing story nights. You are still most welcome to bring a bottle of something cheeky with you.


We urge you to book in advance, if you are able as tickets often sell out. 

To help our more technically challenged friends we are trialing having  a very small number of tickets available on the door. We suggest you arrive early if you wish to secure one of these pay in person tickets. 

We at Matlock Storytelling Cafe are embracing our quest; to bring top quality performances to adult audiences.

Grab a ticket, turn off your phone and join us on a journey. Online ticket sales will close at 7pm on the night.
The doors opens at 7.00pm, stories and music  7.30-10

Tickets are £8 live and £6.50 for zoom
