Join us for ‘The Kirkgate Ghost Count’ at York Castle Museum, part of The York Ghost Merchants ‘Ghost Week’ 2022!

Visit Kirkgate – one of the oldest recreated indoor streets of its kind in the world and the first to be opened in Britain. It is a detailed recreation of a Victorian era high street and features shops which existed in York from 1870 until 1901. Wander this atmospheric street and its back lanes and try and count the York Ghosts that dwell there.

There will be a specially created Kirkgate Ghost for the three entries which are closest to the correct total.

A tally sheet/entry form will be available from the museum on entry.

Tiger Today - Storywriting Workshops for 10 - 14yr olds

Venue: York Castle Museum

Creative storywriting workshops for 10-14 year olds, 26th-27th October

About this event

Join Gemma from Hoglets Theatre to look at how times have changed since the Tiger Who Came To Tea was written in the 1960’s.

These days it is just as possible that Daddy will be at home doing the cooking and cleaning and Mummy is the one who goes out to work; or that two mums or two dads are working from home whilst juggling childcare.

Would it be a Tiger or a Tigress who came to tea? Starting our workshop in the 60’s gallery, we will look at how times and attitudes to gender and gender roles have changed. We’ll then return to our creative lab to create an up-to-date version of the story for our times using drama games, role play and creative writing.

All children must be accompanied by an adult.

There are multiple slots for each day, please see the eventbrite link below for timings.
