Living Legends: Hidden Histories aims to uncover the hidden stories of Corby and reflect the changing face of the town. Taking inspiration from the ‘Humans of New York’ social media campaign, we’ve found ten local people who have an extraordinary story to tell; an incredible experience, an uncelebrated achievement or a surprising fact about their life.
Our Living Legends will be celebrated through an exhibition at the Rooftop Arts Centre, with their stories brought to life by a professional photographer and writer. They’ll also be collated into a book, which will be available to purchase from May.
Living Legends is made possible by money raised by National Lottery players through the Heritage Lottery Fund and has been developed with Love Corby.
Dates: 2nd May – 2nd June
Time: Wednesdays – Saturdays 11am – 4pm
Preview: Thursday 3rd May 6pm – 8pm
