Story Café
Join Ottawa StoryTellers for Story Café, a relaxed evening of live storytelling featuring both seasoned and emerging tellers.
Each month brings a new mix of autobiographical stories, folk tales, traditional stories and original narratives, shared in the welcoming atmosphere of a local pub.
A Monthly Evening of Captivating Tales
A New Home for Story Café
Story Café is now being held at Heart & Crown on Preston Street, in The Snug Pub.
Located in the heart of Little Italy, the Heart & Crown offers an accessible and welcoming setting to gather, enjoy a drink or something to eat, and experience live storytelling.
Because dates are booked with the venue on a month-to-month basis, the day of the week may vary from month to month. Check this page or our Events Calendar for the latest Story Café date.
Story Café begins at 7:00 PM.
Hosted by Corey Hackett and coordinated by Colette Laplante, Story Café is a place where stories bring us together.
