What's on?

Throughout history people have travelled the globe spreading ideas and sharing their talents. We’re celebrating their stories this year as part of our Routes-Networks-Connections theme. So of course we had to chat to the Migration Museum, whose touring exhibition has just won a coveted Museums+Heritage Show award. Here they share some of the extraordinary stories highlighted in that exhibition.

“We demand the Wayfarer’s Dole!” intriguing words that link us to our ancestors across the centuries. Discover their reward and the different meaning of old and new wayfaring in this beautiful blog from Dawn at the British Pilgrimage Trust. Our landscape may have changed, often dramatically, over time, but this just makes the survival of, and our continued journeys along, ancient paths all the more special.

For over a century thousands of extraordinary women across the country have been meeting up and causing a stir. Not just stirring the ingredients for a cake to share with friends or sell on a stall, but stirring up conversations that lead to long term change. As they announce exciting plans for their AGM we invited the brilliant WI (Women's Institute) to tell us their story for Women's History Month.
