Last year we worked with Lincolnshire Folktales on their research project Lincolnshire Folk Tales: Origins, Legacies, Connections, Futures’ - a project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (grant number AH/Y003225/1), and is led by Dr Rory Waterman and the Research Fellow Dr Anna Milon in the School of Arts and Humanities at

We led on gathering stories and sharing local folk tales with young people, schools and groups in Lincolnshire.

During the storytelling workshops, we captured what happened and the stories that the young people created. So grab yourself a cuppa and listen to the Podcasts, edited by digital producer Marc Reck.
