Experience Opportunity

Kings Lynn Calling! Submission Callout

We are delighted to be launching a brand-new project called King’s Lynn Calling! and we would love for you to get involved. We are working with King’s Lynn Festival to create an atmospheric 30-minute audio experience inspired by the town of King’s Lynn.

The King’s Lynn Calling! recording will be made up of poems, lyrics and short stories written by the people who live, work, or attend school in King’s Lynn. We hope this project will document histories and connect people to your town – with its history told through your words. The stories will be read by actors and made into a beautiful sound installation by Sound Designer Jack Baxter.

Once it’s finished the recording will be free to access, available to listen to from home or (ideally) whilst wandering around the town soaking up the sights, smells and sounds that provided the inspiration.

If you wish to share your story, we would love to hear from you! This opportunity is open to all and we are looking for contributors of all ages.

We are looking for personal stories inspired by the town – its history, nature, people, shops, weather, transport, animals, homes….whatever fires your imagination! Things that bring you joy, fascinate you and move you. Or maybe you are facing a challenge that you might want to highlight. Tell us what you care about.

We are looking for:

  • Poems or song lyrics (4-40 lines long)
  • Short stories or prose (100-500 words long)
