Tree Tales
Welcome to Tree Tales, a celebration of UK native trees. This is a guide on how to start the Tree Tales experience.
We hope you enjoy and learn as much as we did from this journey.
Tree Tales Locations
Tree Tales will be at different locations. To view the locations, download our map from the link in the locations section on this page.
Exhibition
The Ogham Tree Alphabet
This mini-exhibition also marks the start of the Tree Tales experience.
Visit the location for a mini-exhibition featuring the Ogham tree alphabet. Here, you can find a link to learn about the ancient Celtic script, a mystery tree and a story of how the Ogham came to be.
The Mystery Tree
We invite you to explore the sacred tales of the Yew tree in your own time. What stories can you tell about the Yew?
Audio Storytelling Trail
The Hazel Tree: Fionn and the Salmon of Knowledge
Explore the myth of Fionn and the Salmon of Knowledge as you visit different shops in the
market. You will see the participating shops and restaurants on a digital map we provide.
Scan the QR codes at each location to listen, and if you're short on time, feel free to scan and listen later.
What will you discover?
Visual Experience
Discover a special visual experience created by Hannah Battershell for the Tree Tales project.
Her art beautifully captures the essence of the Standing Ones—the trees—humanity’s oldest and most constant companions, sustaining us and providing the very breath essential for our survival.
Mobile Devices
We recommend rotating your phone for an improved experience if you're using a mobile device.
