My Story
My Story takes your true stories and tells them in art for the whole community to enjoy. We held some fantastic sessions both online and in person in 2021 which you can read about in more detail in the workshops section below.
My Story Festivals at Hertfordshire Libraries
We have celebrated all things My Story at two of our libraries!

Interactive Storytelling by Herts Inclusive Theatre at Hitchin Library
On Sunday 29th May we gathered at Watford Library for a fantastic, fun-filled family day with lots of activities for all to enjoy. Find out more.
Part of Hitchin Festival, My Story Fest took over Hitchin Library on Sunday 17th July. We gathered together some local artists to share their work and practices and we were treated to amazing performances by acclaimed folk singer, Lizzy Hardingham, and an interactive sensory story telling experience like no other from Hertfordshire Inclusive Theatre.
Everyone has a story to tell. What’s yours?
Do you have a defining memory from your childhood or adolescence? Perhaps you can recall a time of great change in your life?
Sharing stories can bring people together and we would love to share your stories for everyone to enjoy on this website. Stories do not need to be written. You could record spoken word or music, share a video or submit a piece of visual art.
Please send your short stories (approximately 500 words, if written) to mystory@hertfordshire.gov.uk
