TWO afternoons of Celtic story-telling for youngsters will be taking place at the Dales Countryside Museum, in Hawes, next month.

Storyteller David Brown will be explaining the lives of 6th Century Pennine chieftains, who once ruled the Yorkshire Dales.

The events will take place on Tuesday, February 20 and Wednesday, February 21, between 2pm and 4.30pm.

Karen Griffiths, the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority's interpretation officer, said: "The rhythm of the drum and the ancient art of story-telling will describe the life and history of the Dales in the Dark Ages. Both afternoons will offer a feast of entertainment for visitors young and old.
