The Connecting the Culm Team are excited to have been joined by storyteller Clare Viner!

Clare is going to be leading us on adventures each week as she co-creates some stories with the river, land and people who live, work and play in and around the Culm. Exploring how we use the river, legends from the area and weaving inspiration from her adventures, Clare’s stories aim to reimagine how we can live in harmony with the river into the future whilst still benefitting from its many gifts.
