Come and listen to some heritage stories

Join us round the campfire (or in the barn if it’s wet) as storytellers from the Buckinghamshire LGBTQ+ community tell us their heritage stories.

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.

"It's fantastic. I learnt about heritage, community, love and support. Very inspirational. I was really impressed. The atmosphere was amazing!" Campfire Heritage Stories Audience Member

"I really enjoyed it. I think it was such a great way to bring people together and have a really important discussion around our heritage...It was important for me to share my story... and I’m really glad I did.” Karen Bonner MBE (Storyteller, March 2024)
