Stoke-on-Trent locals are invited to visit the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery from 12pm to 3.30pm on Saturday 2 December to help inspire and grow the Living Heritage City Trail by Stoke-on-Trent City Council.   

Hosted by Appetite and Stoke-on-Trent City Council, 'Stories for the Living City' will be filled with Stokie storytelling and creation with local artists, including:

• Tell your tale and make your own six-line story with Shahid Khan (Punjab to the Potteries)
• Be a photographer for the afternoon and explore your city through a lens with Nat Willatt (Union, Picturing High Streets)
• Create your very own character with Kidda Kinsey (illustrator of the trail map!)
• Have your portrait made by artist Daby Daby Obiechefu (TRIBES, Featured 23)
• Share ideas and inspiration of what you’d like to see next from Appetite in the City Centre ​

The Living Heritage City Trail is a taster of the Living Heritage City project (launching in March 2025) that will connect the archives and collections of the museums to buildings and communities in Stoke and Hanley.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council will aim to work in partnership with local communities along the route and will consult and create with users, organisations and partners to showcase the rich stories and significant heritage of the city.

You can find out more about the Living Heritage City Trail on the Stoke-on-Trent City Council website.
