Through the Madman's Window - A Story Making Workshop with Colin Urwin

Join us on Monday 22nd September from 7pm – 9pm for an unforgettable creative journey into the art of storytelling.

Ever wanted to turn an old family anecdote or personal experience into something truly magical?

Step Through the Madman’s Window with master storyteller Colin Urwin and learn how to weave together something borrowed (a fragment of folk or family lore), something blue (a distant memory or emotion), and a silver sixpence (an emotive object or place) into a tale that is not only imaginative and fresh—but made to be told aloud.

Over four weekly workshops, Colin will guide you through a joyful, hands-on creative process that transforms memory into myth and everyday moments into timeless stories. You'll stretch your imaginative muscles and craft your very own wonder tale, culminating in a live performance on Thursday 16th October 2025 at The Courthouse, Bushmills.

  • Monday 22nd September 2025
