Cantonese Tell-a-tale: Lunar New Year Storytelling

Overview

The Year of the Dragon will be kicking off on 10 February 2024! Cantonese Tell-a-tale, a local Ealing storytelling club, is delighted to present an intriguing series of activities designed to immerse you in the captivating traditions of the Lunar New Year. Join us on the first day of the Lunar New Year as we share mesmerising tales in both Cantonese (a Chinese language widely spoken in Hong Kong and Macau) and English, unraveling the fascinating stories behind the 12 Chinese Zodiacs!

Our celebration goes beyond storytelling – step into the Education Room for engaging craft-making activities. After indulging in “The Story of the 12 Chinese Zodiacs”, families are warmly invited to participate and create the symbolic creature of the year – the Dragon!

Embark on an immersive journey with us, where cultural richness, storytelling magic, and the joy of creative expression come together. Let’s celebrate the Lunar New Year together!
