Description

Travelling Tales is an opportunity for everyone to explore a range of specially selected artefacts you might find in a Vardo. A Vardo is a traditional Gypsy horse drawn wagon that has traditionally been in use for at least a hundred and
fifty years by Romany Gypsies and Irish Travellers. The Vardo is filled with lots of lovely atefacts created, donated and lent by members of the Traveling communities.

Come and listen to live music with Romani musician Sarah-Jane Miller and storytelling with Thomas McCarthy.

Refreshments available.
