The stories that built the British Isles – never a dull moment and fun for all ages

Hilarious, heroic, heartbreaking, this is a great show guaranteed to engage and enthral in equal measure.

'THE STONES'
A talk by Jan Wallis
Among the standouts of our current exhibition, an intriguing installation by textile artist Jan Wallis depicts six joyously-expressive dancers encircling a group of seated, stone-like figures. Stitched into these enigmatic figures are poems that tell a story. Jan will be here in person to talk about her work and read her poetry.
