About

Join us in the Lake District for an epic storytelling festival. Our 2025 festival theme is Scandinavian Midsummer, encompassing all the beauty, wonder and wild abandon of the midnight sun!

Expect some of the finest storytellers from the UK and Scandinavia telling fairytales for grown-ups, along with midsummer celebrations, wild encounters, live music, late night DJ sessions, tales told around the fire, storywalks through the woods, hands-on workshops, and great food and drink. Enter a world of playfulness, epic stories and wild enchantment nestled in a gorgeous green valley near Lake Windermere.

Our main programme is aimed at adult audiences, but Stealing Thunder is a family friendly festival. Our myths for kids programme is packed full of superb family friendly storytelling, and you’ll find plenty of other activities to keep everyone entertained – from toddlers to teens.

Camp for the full weekend or just join us for the day; either way, don’t miss this festival in 2025.
