A Seat at our Table - at Pickford's House


  • Pickford's House 41 Friar Gate Derby, DE1 1DA England (map)

A FREE multisensory celebration of food, family and friendship co created with friends seeking sanctuary in Derby.

Join Maison Foo and their Creative Sanctuary Group as they take over the dining room at Pickford’s House, reimagining what and whose stories are told in spaces such as these. Set around a 'dining table', this is Pickford’s House, but not as you know it!

Beautifully framed…each of the stories a little gift... A simple idea executed with such care and delicacy
— Lyn Gardner

This intimate and heart-warming experience gives audiences a chance to hear personal stories from newly arrived friends from all over the world.

Using audio story, visual installation, theatre design and live conversation to bring an infectiously joyous celebration of this very special community and their collective love of food, family and friendship.

‘Dear Guests, we welcome you to come and sit at our table and listen to our stories. Inspired by our love of cooking, food, and memories of family kitchens all over the world; these are stories we would love to share with you.’ The Creative Sanctuary Group
