Welcome to Milk and Cookie Stories

On the second Tuesday of the each month, Exchange Dublin is transformed into a giant living room.  Duvets are unfurled, cushions are strewn, the walls are hung with fairy lights... and then the magic happens. We are Milk and Cookie Stories, a volunteer-run arts, storytelling and home-baking collective based in Dublin. Our group is founded on the belief that everyone has a story to tell. We aim to provide a place where people can do just that... a place with tea, cookies, cushions and friends. Stop by our event on the second Tuesday of any month! Whether you have a story to tell, or you just want to listen, we promise you an unforgettable night of tales and a full belly! And best of all, it’s all free!

We managed to make it out alive, with the help of an underground tunnel and a massively whistleable tune. But you can’t keep us away! No, we’ll be back – same bat time, same bat channel, and this time the second tuesday of the month of February falls on… you guessed it! So we’ll come up with something fun and suitable.

In the meantime though, if you want to have a say in how M&CS does its thing, come to our AGM this Saturday at 2pm in Exchange!
