Town Centre: Look out for the Heritage Collector around Leek during the week

 FREE

The Heritage Collector has been travelling around collecting stories of Leek's cultural and textile heritage, and storing them in his portable cabinet of curiosities. Wherever he encounters a potential audience, he will fold out the legs of the cabinet and set it down on the floor. As the audience peers in, the Heritage Collector recounts the stories behind each scene, bringing to life the sounds, smells, and sights of Leek’s past.
