Prepare yourself for an epic adventure of folkloric proportions as you uncover hidden histories and secret stories in a BRAND NEW folk trail!

Explore the overlooked.
Delve into the misremembered.
Rediscover the forgotten!

As the League of Curiosity curates a curious collection of Bury-based stories and songs, retold through gentle clowning, splashes of play, and flashes of puppetry.

A family-friendly folklore walk for those who like their history with a healthy dose of stories, songs, and play.

When: Saturday 12 September 11am and 2pm

Where: Meet at The Met. (Visiting Bury Church, Library Gardens and Kay Gardens)

Who: Children 6+ and their families

Duration: 50mins

Access: The walk will explore the ‘Cultural Quarter’ of Bury. We will travel along paths, pavements, and urban greenspaces. The ground may be uneven at times – and even muddy (depending on weather). Participants are encouraged to dress appropriate to the weather (coat for rain, sunscream for sun – that sort of thing). The walks will go ahead, rain or shine (but not in really bad, sideways rain or ridiculously windy storms).
