Hello, Can You Hear Me? is an audio storytelling project that was funded by Wakefield Council as part of Our Year – Wakefield District 2024 

It features ten folktales re-created by the storyteller, Beccy Dye.  These were arranged on a period telephone which was then toured across the District.  People simply dialled a number to reach a story, each story was broken up into parts, so if they wanted listens could create story mash-ups.

The project included a live, family-friendly performance which launched the exhibition in each venue.

Hope in Normanton is an adaptation bringing together a series of stories by Peter Kirton from his book, Normanton: Grit, Grime and Courage
