The Lost Legends of Leicester Heritage Project was funded by The Y Theatre as part of ‘Kick the Dust’ Heritage funding. The project worked with 13-25 year olds to explore lost tales and legends of Leicester, working with local folklore musicians and historians. Bringing to life forgotten stories of myth and momentously worthy moments in Leicester’s history, the project resulted in a family Heritage event day, ‘Hobs’ puppetry show and a short film ‘Lost Legend of Leicester Black Annis.
The young people working on the project were nicknamed our ‘Parliament of Bats’ attending workshops over the summer as part of the production team and researchers, choosing the stories that featured in the celebration of heritage.
