Green Library Hubs
Behold Ye Ramblers
Townsend Theatre Productions in association with The Society for the Study of Labour History
From the voices of ramblers and campaigners to the songs and poetry inspired by past and current struggles, “Behold Ye Ramblers” is a new play about The Clarion newspaper and the organisations formed by its readership, including the famous rambling club, The Sheffield Clarion Ramblers. Along with the Clarion Cyclists, these early Edwardian pioneers promoted healthy outdoor pursuits, organising expeditions across open moors and mountains whilst campaigning for the right to roam, bringing them into conflict with landowners’ hunting and shooting activities and laws that prioritised private property over the well-being of others.

Our packs include dressing up, jigsaws, games, soft toys, and sensory play – all to be enjoyed in the library.

🐾 Animals at Blackburn Central Library (ideal for ages 3-4)
More themes and age ranges are coming soon, subject to trial results.
