About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Join award-winning storyteller Jason Buck to hear the original myths and legends that inspired the monsters from film, inlcuding the Kraken and other beasts from dark Norse tales, cannibal witches from Eastern European folklore and modern action movies, Greek myths, and more!

As part of the Haywards Heath Arts Festival 2025, Jason has been invited to bring a storytelling show to the Hop Sun microbrewery and taproom. Enjoy a drink and a snack, sit back and immerse yourself in the wonders of the best storytelling you'll have heard since childhood.

"Jason Buck is a man made of myth, magic and mead. His stories are filled with adventure, his beard is full of unexpected twists and his tankard filled with a poet's brew. Sit around the fire and listen to his tales - you won't be disappointed." Abbie, Strange Times Storytelling Club
"My friends and I saw Jason in [in-person] last night and I was absolutely blown away. It was my first time at one of his events and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time." Erika, West Midlands

Jason Buck Storyteller

Drawing on traditional favourites and introducing new ideas, Jason's stories are told in the oldest and best ways – as live performances, for modern audiences and he has performed across the UK and mainland Europe, blending traditional and contemporary motifs, vocal sound effects and pure, unadulterated fantasy.Jason has been a performer most of his adult life, including cabaret and comedy, but his passion lies in stories - ‘there's nothing like getting lost in a story, the pictures in your head are better than film’.Jason has written and published four collections of his own stories, won silver at the last ‘Grand Annual Lying Festival’ and 'Best Bard' at Profound Decisions' 'Theatre of Joy and Sorrow'. He is also a member of the Society for Storytelling, a skilled celebrant for weddings / handfasting, namings and funerals and a member of the UK Society of Celebrants.Jason now lives in Leamington Spa with his family: Partner Kim, son Oskar, and Percy the cat.
