The Creature Chronicles - The story so far
As the waves lap the shore of the cliff edged coastline and the breeze swirls and spirals through the treetops, the creatures of the Vale spring to life. Scurrying and scampering ripple through the landscape, but who could be making these sounds?
It’s time for creatures great and small to share their treasured tales with human kind. Make sure you’re truly listening - for some of these species may need a little help.
The Creature Chronicles is a collection of stories developed and designed by Louby Lou’s Storytelling, to share the important tales of endangered species who reside in the Vale. Suitable for families, a series of pop up events took place across the six week holidays of 2025 for you to enjoy and engage in. The collection included a mixture of outdoor theatre performances, walkabout acts and promenade storytelling trails, across some of the Vale’s most beautiful landscapes.
If you missed them, fear not, we have captured all the wonderful storis for you to read or listen too right here.
