Hello, Beautiful Souls, if you’re ever wandering the heart of London and yearning for a night that feels both magical and ancient, I’ve got a little secret to share with you.
Once a month, something truly special happens within the majestic halls of the British Museum, a storytelling session that transports you across time and space. This time, the Crick Crack Club brought to life one of the oldest and most beloved epics of all time: The Ramayana.
Let me tell you, it wasn’t just a story; it was an experience. As the lights dimmed and the hush of anticipation settled over the room, it felt as though we were sitting in an ancient temple courtyard under the moonlight, surrounded by flickering oil lamps, listening to a tale passed down through generations.
The storytelling was so vivid, so alive, that for a moment I forgot I was in central London. The voices, the gestures, the rhythm, it was like poetry set to heartbeat. Vishnu, the mighty warrior, and Sita, the luminous 
queen, their story of love, exile, loyalty, and courage unfolded with such passion and theatrical finesse that it was as if they stepped out of time to speak directly to us.
This beautiful event is brought to life by the incredible Crick Crack Club, a collective of masterful storytellers who are devoted to the art of oral storytelling. They make myth breathe again.
And here’s the best part: entry is only a tenner (£10), a small price for such an immersive, soul-nourishing evening. Your ticket also grants you easy access to the museum, so come in a bit early to wander around before heading to the theatre.
I’ve made it a monthly ritual now, every session is different, every story takes you somewhere new. If you’re craving a deeper connection to myth, culture, and community, I highly recommend you check them out. Booking is necessary as it is usually quickly fully booked.
You can find more information about upcoming events on the Crick Crack Club website, they host sessions not only at the British Museum but in other magical venues all around the UK.
Whether you’re a local or just visiting, carve out an afternoon for this. Trust me, your heart will thank you.
