Event information

In a world of magic and miracles, Yggdrasil the ash tree holds all of creation in its roots and branches.
Odin the Allfather hangs upside down from the great tree, waiting for wisdom to come.
But what happens when the ash tree falls sick?

Ash is one of our commonest trees, bringing many gifts: timber, fuel, tools, inspiration and protection.
Now, ash dieback is on the march through our countryside, and in ten years’ time most of our ash trees will be lost.

Lisa Schneidau tells The World Tree: a storytelling dedicated to our beloved ash trees - past, present and future.
Here’s a tangle of Norse myth, Irish legend and English folktale, where you can hear the latest about our tree pandemic, learn some juicy reptilian insults and discover what happened after the world really did end.

Lisa is a storyteller, author and environmentalist based in Devon. Her storytelling is a warm mix of ancient tale and keen observation of the natural world, casting traditional stories in a contemporary context. With an ecological background and over twenty five years working in wildlife conservation, Lisa brings a wealth of knowledge and infectious enthusiasm to her audience.
Lisa has been telling for over 15 years across a diverse portfolio of performance settings - workshops, community storytelling and training at festivals, nature reserves, arts centres and schools.
We are delighted to welcome Lisa to Lichfield for the first time.
