Why care about what connects us? 

What connects us? Love, something something. As Jackie Duckworth leads you through the garden 

Look around you, imagine a web, connecting 

Imagine a garden, a garden of stories. What do you see? You’re in it now. We’ve each planted a seen Walking through that garden of stories  

Imagine a forest, a forest of stories. Now imagine your story. What would that look like? A grey lion roars, a labyrinth calls, is that peacock looking at me? Would it be colourful? What do you see? And what do all the other stories look like? Take a deep breath and explore our folkloric past as Jackie Duckworth invites you to run along the hidden pathways of history and legend where birds and beasts reside. Take a deep breath then realise the forest is made of string, you aren't in it. And when you squint, it is actually a rug. Join us in the forest, but remember it is a rug. 

Join us in the web 

Imagine a web, a web of string. A web of stories. 

Look again, you see its a rug 

Connecting? 

Us? 

Duckworth invites you to stroll its hidden walks, smell the tale flowers 

Connections. Stories.
