Come and listen to some heritage stories
Join us round the campfire (or in the barn if it’s wet) as storytellers Tetiana Pantielieieva and Vitalina Darnopykh, both from Ukraine, will be joined by a refugee academic from Afghanistan. All three have found safety and support in Buckinghamshire.
After the storytelling, join in with some marshmallow toasting around the campfire.
Our Campfire Heritage Stories are welcoming intercultural events where special guests share their stories around a campfire. These talks are included within the admission price.
