Yde and Olive: A medieval love story
Join us at the Shaggy Dog Storytelling Club as storyteller and academic Daisy Black presents the remarkable thirteenth-century tale of Yde, who dresses herself as a knight and cuts her own paths to freedom. A tale of disguise adventure, gender fluidity, straight-talking angels, and the power of queer love.
Weaving medieval narrative with modern folk song, this performance will take you from birthing chambers to military barracks, through moonlit country lanes and woods stained with slaughter, and from quiet chapels to court chambers crackling with gossip.
Stubbing Wharf Pub, Friday 25th July, 20.00-22.00.
Pay what you feel. Suitable for ages 13 and up. Children under 16 should be accompanied by an adult.

Book Launch - CRABS
Dan Forrester is holding a launch event at Hebden Bridge Library on 28th August at 7pm to celebrate the release of his second novel CRABS.
CRABS is a comedy spy thriller where Slow Horses meets Goldfinger and has a fight. When wannabe spy Lucy Simmons discovers a plot by the criminal organisation CRABS to replace world leaders with clones under their control, no-one takes her seriously. But when someone starts assassinating agents, Lucy learns of a traitor in their midst and must go rogue to find the mastermind before it's too late.
There will be some background on the book, a short reading and compulsory fun (including a fiendishly difficult spy-based quiz) with signed paperbacks available to buy.
Entry is free and will start at 7pm (finishing by 8pm).
