Home is Here: Songs and Stories from Shropshire

Pentabus proudly presents a brand new showcase of songs and stories created by Shropshire school pupils and older people from the county's care homes and communities.

In this multi-generational spoken-word and song-writing project, participants will creatively explore friendship, community, storytelling, wellbeing and what it means to call Shropshire home.

A public performance of these brand new pieces will take place at St Chad's Church in Shrewsbury on Thursday 27th November.
