See your Stories Come to life, Tall Tales
Important information: the Tall Tales event will now take place on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th February 2022. This is a precautionary measure due to uncertainties around COVID so soon after Christmas. The safety of residents comes first and so we have taken the decision to move the event by 4 weeks.
In 2022, Knowsley will be the Liverpool City Region Borough of Culture. The year-long programme of events and activities will celebrate everything about culture in Knowsley – from art and theatre to comedy, dance, food, sport and much more.
2022 is Knowsley’s year and it promises to be a special one and Stockbridge is not missing out. You can find out and keep up to date with events here.
Tall Tales, an exciting project that will form part of Knowsley Borough of Culture’s illuminating opening series of light-based events, stands to be one of the most spectacular events of the year, and it’s happening on your doorstep!
Story Collectors have gathered stories from the community and passed them onto artists Illuminos who will put them together, creating an animation that celebrates Stockbridge and the people that live there. This work of art will shout about Stockbridge from the rooftops, Merecliff’s to be precise, as it is projected over two nights on one of the sides of the high-rise.
Tall Tales is a free event which shines the spotlight on Stockbridge Village and brings community stories to life.
Make sure you have 4th and 5th February in your diaries, as this will be the date of Tall Tales, when the projections and all the stories come together and are shown to the rest of the borough! The projections will take place from 6:00pm - 7:30pm on both Friday and Saturday and each showing will last approximately 15 minutes.
