A big thank you to everyone who made last month’s event so memorable! Especially to Nadia, Zara and Danielle, who were simply marvellous! And to our guest MC Tom (please check out his cool Storymap website.)

Our next big news is that we’re putting on our own FESTIVAL on the 30th and 31st of July! Think storytelling and marshmallows around bonfires, music played beneath the apple trees, clowning, balloon animals, and of course cookies! BYOB, although alcohol and food will be served.

Shcandalous, even. What we heard last night goes no further, y’hear? Milk And Cookie Stories Secrets and Lies indeed. Who’d have thought people’d get up to that sort of thing?

We’re back, with something considerably more civilised on the second tuesday of May (10th May). Oh and you’ll keep our little July Cookie-Stock festival secret a secret for us, right?

Tuesday, April 12th, 6:30pm, in Exchange Dublin.

Theme: Secrets and Lies. Oh yes. More to follow.

DANCE! We’re back. We were back last month. But now we’re back with the other thing. It’s that time again. The lights go down, the curtains come up, and we reveal what goes on in our minds After Dark…

Six months ago some of you queued around the block from the Clarendon Basement for 7 hours of music, spoken word, dance and balloon animals. And stories, obviously. While cleaning up the mess of all those minds we blew at the first After Dark, Milk & Cookies had a thought: BIGGER. Magazines may say different, but we at M&C know that… Read More

Cookie lovers! If you are suffering from cookie-withdrawal symptoms, there’s no need to panic… Help is at hand – because, at last, we are proud, pleased, super-chuffed, overjoyed and ecstatic to announce the FIRST Milk and Cookie Stories of 2011 on Tuesday, February 8th in Exchange Dublin. Doors open at 6.30pm. (No matter how terrible those withdrawal symptoms are, please don’t arrive earlier- we hate to leave you queuing in the drab February cold!) The show finishes at 10pm… but by that time you’ll have eaten so many cookies, you’ll be russhing to get home to sleep them off!

The year went out with a bang and a scream for us as Milk and Cookie Stories! Thank you so much to everyone who came, who saw and who conquered (or at the very least ate and drank themselves silly). And a special thank you to all our storytellers and Bakeoff Challengers! The fudge was amazing…

And remember, no show for January – we’ll be busy planning our Four Fs! Festivals, Funding, Future, and Fun. But we’ll be back with a cookie-tastic extravaganza in February. Have yourselves a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, from all at M&C stories!… Read More

AGH! Milk & Cookie Stories is absolutely terrified to announce that our next event will be taking place on that most hexed date of Tuesday 14th December, in the haunted confines of Exchange Dublin. Doors open promptly at the witching hour (6.30pm) and we shall depart (this earthly realm) at 10pm.

Long before Christmas was Christmas, it was an old tradition at the end of the year for young and old to gather around a fire, eat, drink – and scare the wits out out of each other with tales of fright. Now we know Halloween wasn’t long ago, but… Read More
