An evening of traditional tales with an Isle of Wight flavour, with local storyteller Tony "Monty" Hirst.

Come and hear tell of local legends of Godshill and Arreton, a still well known childrens' nursery story originally collected in Shanklin, and a history of the "nursery of vice" that was Newport in the 1850s, with tales of its local characters and a relentless evangelical preacher with a link to Jane Eyre...
