In March, as part of the Story of Yeovil project, we would like to invite you as members of the community to share your stories about Yeovil.

We would like to gather these stories about Yeovil from different parts of the community and from diverse perspectives; whether they are related to your family histories, your heritage or any of your connections to the town.

We welcome everyone, from people who have lived here for generations to those who have just arrived.

Thursday 2 March, 2 – 4pm
Yeovil Library

Limited places, booking essential. Click the button below to book:

The following forums will be on a drop-in basis, and we welcome residents in the area to attend.

Join us to have a cup of tea and have a chat, either to find out how to get involved, or bring with you the objects, photos or anything that relates to your story. No booking is required, just drop-in. You do not have to attend the full duration of each event, perhaps 20-25mins, depending on your available time and details of the story you would like to share. If you are not sure and would like to find out more, please contact Emma@yeovilartspace.uk

NOTE: Gathered stories will be woven into our three themed public events starting in May. You could be invited back to record your story in audio, writing or other creative media with your permission. We respect the confidentiality of individuals and privacy matter to us so we will also discuss the matter of protecting privacy information with you and respect the ownership of the material shared.
