Local storytellers Barry O' Brien and Nic Lucas, together with Dobbin (Dover's mischievous hooden horse) return to the Maison Dieu to entertain us with a new selection of stories inspired by St Martin, the Patron Saint of Dover and the festival of Martinmas, 

According to tradition, the church and townspeople of Tours, France wanted Martin to serve as their bishop, but he felt he was not worthy and chose to hide from them. Unfortunately for him he hid in a shed or pen filled with geese who cackled loudly and gave away his location.

To mark this long-held association with geese we will be joined by Goose Feather Morris, consisting of experienced members of various Morris sides whose aim is to promote the fun aspect of The Morris.

Door and bar open 6.30 - 7.00pm

Talk begins 7.00 - 8.30pm

Tickets £5. Advance booking only. Suitable for adults and children aged 12 plus.

    Singer was good. Atmosphere was good. Venue is beautiful. Lights are too harsh for me , particularly the ultra violet ones.

    Brilliant tour! Our guide was informative, engaging and enthusiastic. I’m Dover born and bred but learnt so much about the origins of the Maison Dieu (our wonderful Town Hall). Would highly recommend visiting and taking this tour . 🙂
