Halloween Spooky Stories presented in British Sign Language

Zebra jointly organised a spooky story telling session in BSL as part of a Halloween event at Bantock House Museum, Wolverhampton.

The main storyteller was Zebra director Marilyn Bueno Del Carpio and there was a voice over for all hearing visitors. The demand was so great that what had been intended to be a short session was repeated throughout the afternoon.
