About

Meet internationally acclaimed storyteller and author Richard O’Neill as he tells the story of Polonious, The Pit Pony, plus others from his
collection of children’s books. Richard is from a traditional, nomadic, Romani Gypsy family.

Make some of the characters from Richard’s stories in our peg doll making workshop.  The Literacy Trust have kindly donated books for a treasure hunt - search for a book voucher hidden in the Museum and collect your free book from reception.

Read stories of travelling communities in our story corner in the Weaving Gallery. Grab a spring trail and explore the museum.
