The Question is...

How many warriors does it take to create a champion? Two to be precise. Two warrior women who have courage enough to outwit an army and fly through fire.
These are the caretakers of Fionn Mac Cumhaill, the Irish champion, who owes his skills and spirit to his mighty “Aunts”.

Have you the heart and stomach to be mesmerised by this magnificent adventure? Are you ready to learn the ways of the wild?

One of Ireland’s greatest legends brought vividly to life by the delightful duo: Storyteller Maria Whatton and Musician Sarah Matthews.

Eleven new life-size steel figures have been unveiled as part of a memorial to miners who lost their lives at Markham Colliery. 

The figures were unveiled as part of the ‘Walking Together’ memorial – led by us – which will eventually feature 106 figures stretching between the village of Duckmanton in Chesterfield and the former pithead.

Each figure is part of a walking trail which symbolises a miner’s journey to the pit and back home again and represents the 106 men who lost their lives in 3 accidents at the site.
