Storytelling clubs operate in a variety of formats. Some clubs
provide a place where anyone can come and tell stories to a small
intimate and specialist audience ('floor-spots'); while other
clubs run a programme of performances by professional or
semi-professional storytellers, and many clubs do a combination
of both. In 2007 the UK had in the region of 55 storytelling
clubs: the larger, more prominent clubs provide a low key,
small-scale circuit for storytelling, for a specialist-interest
audience.
