Just go to directly under where the star stops, and start asking around.

A pillar of smoke will precede you during the day, and a pillar of fire at night. Just follow them.

If it is the Edge Storytelling Festival that you're wanting, Wigan, the place you want to find under the star, between the pillars of smoke and fire and that girl with sunny eyes etc. etc., I can reveal to you, by the stupendous psychic powers vested in me, is: STOKES BARN in the village of MUCH WENLOCK: HERE

If it isn't the Storytelling Festival, but some other Edge that you are looking for, then I will have to go back to my pendulum and dowsing rods. I could be gone some time....

There IS no edge! You just keep going west until you hit the shore of China.

Mudlark,

Magician say's try place name of Uggle Barnby or Upper Poppleton. Of course there is a Lower Poppleton to go with it!

Wigan,

Only just found this thread. Jeanie is quite right the festival is at Stokes Barn, Much Wenlock, Shropshire. The festival is sign posted from Much Wenlock.

If you like I can print you out a street map. (Aren't 'putors wonderful!!!)

Good festival and well worth a refresh of thread.

I never understand how you lot can translate these things...we poor dolts in the Colonies think we need to ask a complete and coherent question to get the right answer, but I see it is not always necessary.

(Like the thread titled "He's gone!" Everyone from the UK seemed to know immediately what it meant....)

Are you joining us next weekend then wigan?

A great festival - but NO dance teams or dancing! (just bonfires to tell story round late at night)

BTW since this a thread about a festival why is in the BS section?

Subject: RE: BS: the edge
From: Mrs.Duck

Might be an idea for a kindly gnome to rename it Festival at the Edge. Technically as it is a storytelling festival it IS non music/BS but since a lot of music happens there(so I'm told I've never been)it might be better placed in the other section.
Of course if we're on silly place names lets not forget Ugly and Nasty. My brother says he's never been to Ugly as he prefers Nasty women - should I disown him?

I feel sorry for all those people who live in Pratts Bottom, but quite pleased for those who live in Hope.

Gillie, the village neighbouring Upper Poppleton is actually Nether Poppleton. (I used to live there.)

"Nether" does indeed mean "lower", in Olde Englishe.

From: Wyrd Sister

No, beyond Hope is Castleton...and since "Down in yon forest" is from Castleton does that make this a music thread now?
My sister told me of a signpost in Lincolnshire several years ago. It read "To Old Bolingbroke and Mavis Enderby" and someone had added "a son.."

Thanks HuwG, we learn something new everyday.

In Wigan's defence may I say that he is a new member and still finding his way around. The festival is a story telling weekend with good music thrown in.

Tig - I beleive that Wigan is otherwise engaged that particular weekend, so will not be in attendance.

I hope you all enjoy the Edge, I am going to be at Saddleworth as usual this weekend, someday the festivals may not clash and then I may be able to visit the Edge.
How about the Cheshire villages of Upper and Lower Peover.
