A fond farewell

Aston Telling Tales has been a project that has provided many memories that all will cherish

We had a lovely review session with the Ageing Well group where we distributed a CD of the audio drama and certificates detailing everyone’s achievements and hard work.

All expressed their joy at being involved in such an interesting and enjoyable project and sadness that it had ended so quickly. It was agreed that it had brought the Aston community closer together and people felt a connection to Aston Hall and its rich history that they had not felt before. Those involved also felt that they had made some new and lasting friendships.

An unexpected and surprising aspect the project gave its participants was that the group gained strength from each other and became a united company, which was a joyous experience to be a part of. Many also expressed their desire to become involved in a similar project, unearthing more stories and performing at different heritage sites.   

Check back soon for videos of the performances and access to the audio drama.
