Join Beccy from Story Trails for an interactive storytelling session. Discover stories about everyday people from Pontefract’s past, doing extraordinary things!

Ponte People Never Give Up

A castle is built on your doorstep, and people won’t stop fighting over it. You have to feed your family, but armies take whatever they want.  Your town is a battleground, and all you want is peace.  When young lads return from fighting far off wars, there isn’t enough work, so they turn to crime.  What do you do when everything around you keeps falling apart?  You tell a different story…
