Live artist Lisa Watts invites visual artist Lucy May to join her in this presentation of Skittish.

In what’s thought to be the most comprehensive local history project of its kind nationally, Telling Our Stories, Finding Our Roots , has taken 12 months to produce but really, the story has been 2,000 years in the making...
