Bardic Trials (15 Mar)

Presented by Unbound

In 2023 our award-winning storytelling company Unbound created the role of the Bard of Aylesbury, working alongside Aylesbury Town Council. Gareth Johnson served as the first bard, with Laike Twiss taking on the role in 2024. With the second bard's term now drawing to an end, it's time to select the third...

Join us for an evening of inventive and creative storytelling, where candidates hoping to take on the role of Aylesbury's very own storyteller will have a chance to perform and show what they can bring to the role. A panel of local officials and creatives will select the winner, in conjunction with a public vote!

Anyone living in Aylesbury can apply to take part in the Bardic Trials.
