Barnsley Libraries has unveiled The Story Shell, an air-filled space in the shape of a seashell, which will provide a unique and functional art space created by international artists Steve Messam and Suzie Devey.
It measures 9 metres long and 4.5 metres high and will be able to fit a class of 20 children inside. It can be transported across the borough, to host arts-based activities, storytelling, music, theatre and more.
This Saturday (14 September, 2024) as part of Barnsley Garden Party in the Glass Works Square, people will be able to see and explore The Story Shell for the first time.
