FAQs
How much does it cost?
Absolutely nothing! Each story takes a few MB of data to download, but most venues have free Wi-Fi.
When does it begin?
April 2020; date to be announced soon.
What do I need to take part?
The experience requires a smartphone to access the stories, and a pair of headphones to listen with.
How long does it last? When can I do it?
It takes a leisurely few hours to find and listen to all the stories. It's entirely up to you whether you do that in one go, or spread the experience across the course of the festival. Do bear in mind that some of the codes will be placed in cafes and shops, so will only be accessible during their opening hours.
Is there an order to the stories?
No. We recommend starting with First Matter, but everything after can be in any order. Just play them as you find them!
What if I have access requirements? Or don't have a smartphone? Or can't get to Basingstoke?
We'd like New Myths to be experienced by absolutely everyone. As such, we've come up with a whole range of ways to make it accessible for, we think, just about anyone. If the experience as described isn't going to work for you, drop us an email and we'll let you know how we can help.
Is it appropriate for children?
Although it was designed for a grown-up audience, there's no bad language or unsuitable content in any of the stories. It's a self-guided experience though, so we'd strongly advise accompanying children throughout.
I'm coming to Basingstoke especially for New Myths. What else should I see/do while I'm here?
As well as dropping into the locations hosting our stories (which just happen to be some of our favourite places in the town), the programme for the Basingstoke Festival is always a cracker, with plenty on every day.

New Myths was made possible with the generous support of Basingstoke Festival and Arts Council England.
(We're also indebted to the beautiful people of West Lincoln, Ontario. But that's a story for another time.)
