The Grand Pillow Society

Grab a drink, kick off your shoes, settle in comfy pillows and drift away to stories and music. Sundays - check our event page for the next date.

We aim to build a vibrant and inclusive English speaking storytelling community in Groningen, with monthly live storytelling events in the Grand Theatre and a special event in March for World Storytelling Day.

Want to be part of our society? You're more than welc

ome! All you need to do is come with an open heart. We run on volunteers, so if you'd like to help out some more, just drop us a line. Want to tell a story? We end our nights with a hat, into which those inspired to tell a story can throw their names. Want to learn more about storytelling? We also give storytelling workshops. The Grand Pillow Society is a Storytrooper production created in collaboration with Grand Theatre and TgEntropy.

At our World Storytelling Day event last weekend, Shonaleigh shared some treasures from the tradition and we were captivated. Thank you for bringing us on such a wonderful storytelling journey ✨

Our host reminded us of some of the traditions we have at the Grand Pillow Society, from high fiving new folks to wearing colourful socks - see if you can spot them!

Also spot some of our volunteers! These events wouldn't happen without our team of Pillow People! Thank you to our cooks (Rob and Meli), pillow movers (Micha, Maryn, Bihter and Nathan) and promo team (Kamil, Luis, Jamie and Hannah) 🫶

What is a community? How can we bring people together? What can we contribute to the grand pillow society? 💌

These were some of the questions we explored at our community gathering on Sunday. This was the first time we have hosted a more informal event like this and we were so excited by all of the ideas and energy (and snacks) everyone brought.

We're looking forward to seeing you all at our next storytelling event on Sunday 22nd February, more details coming soon ✨
