‘Everyone has a story to tell.
Barnsley, let us hear yours!’

'Calling Barnsley’ was a unique collaborative project that brought together the creativity of Barnsley College students and the voices of people in Barnsley. Comissioned by Storying Barnsley, this ambitious project transformed a classic phone box into a dynamic storytelling space, offering a captivating glimpse into the heart of Barnsley through 30 powerful monologues that reflected the rich and diverse stories of the borough.

Alongside the phone box, we launched an exhibition at Barnsley Civic. Our Engagement Officer facilitated 20  storytelling workshops and 3 community residencies.To see what the Calling Barnsley Pop Up Workshops are up to, follow our Instagram hashtag #callingbarnsley
