Book via Heard Live here.

Step into an unforgettable evening of powerful true storytelling on the theme “Owning It”, where our storytellers take us from the quiet beginnings of self-discovery to celebrating their stories and sharing them on stage.

Join us for an evening of true stories told live, featuring a specially curated line up of ordinary people with extraordinary stories that have graduated from our Own Your Story programme in 2025. They will be sharing their experiences unfiltered and in their own words. Our events celebrate the joy of hearing others’ voices, discovering the story within each person, and coming together to connect, reflect, and learn.

We’re looking forward to meeting you soon and sharing our love of true stories!

If you have any questions about the event please email hello@heardstorytelling.com
