Grue: For Home Educators

Wintercroft & ARCADE

In these sessions, home educators explored a wintry world.

Grue was fabulous walk-through experience for culture-lovers, young and old.

In this enchanted landscape, our audience took on an important mission: to help our historian solve the mysteries of Damart Mill. Families passed through secret doors, a fairy forest and even went underwater on their quest – and they even met some special guests along the way.

Dreamed up by artist Steve Wintercroft, produced by Yorkshire’s very own ARCADE and built entirely from recycled and repurposed materials, Grue was named after an ancient word for ‘shiver’.
