About
Join Beccy from StoryTrails for an interactive storytelling session at Pontefract Castle. Discover stories about everyday people from Pontefract’s past, doing extraordinary things!
“Ponte people never give up”
A castle is built on your doorstep, and people won’t stop fighting over it. You have to feed your family, but armies take whatever they want.
Your town is a battleground, and all you want is peace. When young lads return from fighting far off wars, there isn’t enough work, so they turn to crime.
What do you do when everything around you keeps falling apart? You tell a different story…
Book your free tickets and enjoy masterful storytelling together as a family.
This event is free for Heritage Open Days.
*10:30am is an SEND session: SEND families are welcome at all Wakefield Museums & Castles’ sessions, but these SEND sessions are for people who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere and fewer participants.
