Photo memories from our Lincolnshire Folktales Project2024
Pyn Stockman - Storyteller led our project with Lincolnshire Folktales working with young people at St Mary’s Catholic Primary, Brigg.

We worked with young people in schools and groups to explore traditional Lincolnshire stories as part of 'Lincolnshire Folk Tales: Origins, Legacies, Connections, Futures’ research project. The aim is to inspire, generate and tell their own new place-based stories. At the end of the project we recorded stories from all three schools who took part in the project and are now available to listen on our website as a podcast
