We pride ourselves in offering bespoke learning and interpretation solutions to the heritage sector.
“I launched Museum Tales LTD in 2012 as an outlet for my creativity and a drive to ‘do better’ both professionally and personally.
With over 20 years of experience in the sector, I’m proud to have worked with a fantastic range of museums, galleries, libraries and heritage sites.
As a consultancy, we specialise in formal and informal learning and interpretation solutions. From mentoring over 200 museums to deliver family friendly welcomes, to consulting on award winning UNESCO family interpretation projects.
I’m proud to say that my work has been recognised nationally, and I am now a steering group member of the Playful Places Network.
My goal is to make your life easier, to help you to bring your ideas to life and to facilitate as you unlock your own creativity.”
