This beautiful historic theatre in Cheshire not only knows how to pull in the crowds for a show, but how to engage visitors with its history! Their backstage tours with a local historian are always popular but this year they expanded their repertoire to reach an even wider audience with two new events: a pantomime costume workshop, and a spooky escape room created in collaboration with young adults.
From Roman soldiers to a Regency era ferryman, the rich history of African people in our country is a long one. A project in the North East has been researching these stories, sharing them through a range of resources and events – including a taster walk over our festival. As we couldn’t attend the walk we asked them to share a few stories here, highlighting the wonderful work they do and resource they are creating.
