Michael Loader

Michael is our storyteller at Morriston Hospital, Swansea, Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales in Cardiff, Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, and Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Michael is the director and founder of Somerset Storyfest and is also the resident storyteller at St George’s in Bristol. Having worked in education and the arts for over 25 years, he is able to bring his humour to schools, theatres, festivals, corporations and prisons. Michael works with the young, old and everyone in-between, showing every group the power of stories and imagination.

“Children in hospital without Michael are sad, grumpy and depressed. When Michael comes in he cheers the whole ward up, the whole ward, particularly me!”
