A HERITAGE INSPIRED SPOOKY PROGRAMME WHERE THE PAST BEGINS TO STIR!
This project formed part of Kirkham’s Historic England HAZ Cultural Programme and focused on raising awareness of Kirkham’s rich heritage through the creation of a performance. Focusing on the idea that Kirkham’s ghosts, would include Roman Soldiers, Mill Workers, Weavers, Mill owners, Maids and WW2 Soldiers, RAF officers. Positive Placemakers CIC worked in partnership with Kirkham Euphoria Dance and Wellbeing Studio, and members of the community and Kirkham Cultural Consortium. All those who participated had great fun creating the performance and videos.
