About
A local storyteller is having trouble remembering the Wakefield Legends.
They’re around here somewhere though and, with your help, we’ll be able to solve the riddles and free the stories!
Join Story Trails for this fun, interactive storytelling performance and discover the giant dog of Upton, the Horbury Boggart, local witches, donkeys that lived in kitchens and wells that would transport you to the land of the faerie!
Hello, Can You Hear Me? performances are suitable for all ages.
‘People often think that legends and fairytales are for children, but that’s not true, they’re for everyone. And if we don’t tell them, then we don’t hear them, and then we lose them…’
It’s time to tell the old stories again.
It’s time to dial the past…
This fun, accessible event, imbued with Makaton, has been developed by Beccy Dye from Story Trails and is funded by a Culture Grant from Wakefield Council as part of Our Year – Wakefield District 2024.
