Pridie Tiernan

"The modern world still holds its magic, if only we can attune ourselves to its enchantments." - Carolyne Larrington

Self-confessed story obsessive Pridie takes stories outdoors as teacher, writer and traditional storyteller.

Specialising in nature-based immersive 'outdoor storying' experiences, Pridie blends together a unique mix of folklore and fairytales, history and traditions with wild food foraging, natural navigation and wilderness skills.

Each of her experiences brings the natural world to life in an intimate, engaging and inspiring way, with the ultimate aim of encouraging us all to protect and preserve the land, trees, plants and creatures we live alongside.

As well as being a solo performer, Pridie also works collaboratively with fellow storytellers, chefs, musicians and filmmakers to create a wide variety of wild and wordy events for all, including the all-women retreat She Can Do Wild, Folktrails films and podcasts, and Fairytrails outdoor storying adventures.

She also delivers storytelling training for educators and business, works at festivals across the country, teaches English privately and in school, and chairs the charity HSG who focus on educating, inspiring and empowering young people in Uganda.
