Share your story this summer with help from a variety of creative events hosted by Bucks council and Bucks culture.
They are inviting residents to share and celebrate their personal stories, and those of Buckinghamshire itself with a variety of workshops, pop up stalls and festivals over the summer months.
The Story Project will see artists touring a pop-up Story Stall to locations across Buckinghamshire and encouraging people to share their stories. The lead artist, Tom Cross, will design the Story Stall, which will collect stories using postcards, and through conversations with the public. Starting at WhizzFizzFest (26 June), and touring the county over the summer, the Stall will visit events, markets and high streets – engaging lots of different people.
Story Stall will also be part of our story-themed Open Weekend. For Open Weekend, 22-25 July, we will be promoting a four-day programme of activities themed to stories. This will be a celebration of creativity, culture and stories. Organisations, groups and businesses across Buckinghamshire are invited to contribute events to create an exciting and varied programme of activity for people to join in with.
