‘Winter Tales’ at City Hall will take place on Saturday 7th December, as part of the Christmas Saturday events. 

A statement from GCS follows below:

Get ready to experience the magic of Christmas at the City Hall’s ‘Winter Tales’, on Saturday  7th December, as part of the Christmas Saturday events. Organised by Gibraltar Cultural  Services, on behalf of the Ministry for Culture, it promises to be a seasonal celebration with  something special for everyone! The line-up includes a storytelling session for children, an  inspiring writing workshop for adults, and a fireside chat on holiday traditions.  

The day begins with Christmas Storytelling at 10am, where children aged 4-8 and their  families are invited to join our Story Elf for an hour of winter tales and festive fun. Each child  ticket includes a goodie bag, making this session a lovely treat for young readers. Tickets are  limited, and children must be accompanied by an adult. 

For adults with a passion for words, Winter Reflections at 10:30am offers a writing workshop  delivered by GNBC member and teacher Melissa Bosano, exploring the power of the memory  in crafting engaging narratives. We will consider what makes a piece of writing successful and  how to use these tools in writing. Poetry, prose, script.... any format welcome! The workshop  will run for 1.5 hours and participants are encouraged to bring their own personal  photographs. When purchasing a ticket, you have the option to purchase a combined ticket to  attend our fireside chat too. 

Finally, you can gather for our Christmas Traditions Fireside Chat at 12:15pm, with local  author Manolo Galliano, Jackie Anderson and local bakery owner Sharon Garcia. Centered  around Galliano’s latest book, ‘Pan Dulces & Mince Pies’, this spirited conversation will  explore the rich tapestry of holiday traditions, with festive nibbles and drinks. Join us to hear  cherished memories, culinary tales, and seasonal stories that celebrate the joy of  togetherness. 

Tickets and more information on ‘Winter Tales’ are available online at Buytickets.gi with  limited capacity for each event, so early booking is encouraged. Choose your experience, or  indulge in more than one, and make this December a time of festive storytelling, creativity,  and celebration at City Hall.
