Museum of British Folklore Manifesto

 

The highlight of the Port Eliot Festival for me was a converted caravan containing artefacts of British Folklore.

Manifesto

• To promote, celebrate and revitalise the folk heritage of Britain.
• To provide ways for individuals to discover, understand and explore their own, and others customs and traditions.
• To encourage greater public involvement in the rich and continuing tradition of folklore as a vital component of the social fabric and cultural identity of the British Isles.
• To be an innovative organisation, working within a network of collaborative partnerships across the country.

The Museum of British Folklore will do this through:

• Engaging members of the public through exhibitions, workshops, lectures, pop-up shops and digital platforms.
• Developing collaborative partnerships to deliver activities and promote folklore.
• Sharing, interpreting and conserving its collection of folklore artefacts.
• Creating and facilitating a range of inspirational educational opportunities for individuals of all ages.
• Providing a platform to showcase and promote the work of folk artists of all genres.
• Working to establish a permanent museum space for its collections and activities.
• Encouraging its audiences to be active co-producers of content and direction.
