Content Warning: this story is based on the recorded events of the so-called witch Mary Pannal. It involves references to a child and his father dying, and to Mary being hung and burnt as a witch.

Hello, Can You Hear Me? is an audio storytelling project that was funded by Wakefield Council as part of Our Year – Wakefield District 2024

It features ten folktales re-created by the storyteller, Beccy Dye. These were arranged on a period telephone which was then toured across the District. People simply dialled a number to reach a story, each story was broken up into parts, so if they wanted listens could create story mash-ups.

The project included a live, family-friendly performance which launched the exhibition in each venue.
