And there's still three minutes to change the future of heritage in Yorkshire!

Heritage Show + Tell is a chance for people passionate about heritage in Yorkshire to come together and share their work, get feedback on ideas and meet new collaborators.

Everyone welcome: community heritage groups, freelancers, museum professionals, students and academics.

Last seen in 2018, we are returning rested and refreshed – and now as a collaboration between the Centre for Critical Studies in Museums, Galleries and Heritage at the University of Leeds and the Heritage Network.

We have 8 three-minute presentations lined up for our return edition of Heritage Show + Tell, followed by lots of opportunity to meet and mingle over refreshments (not to forget the legendary twiglets!).

Heritage Toolbox: From skills masterclasses to expert mentoring
Charlotte Tomlinson and Sophie Bodenham, Heritage Network

If Walls Could Talk: Exploring Continuity and Change through Chinese Export Wallpaper
Louise Atkinson, Visiting Research Fellow, School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies, University of Leeds
