We want to make sure lots of people can enjoy our Sherwood Voices Storytelling Audio walks. So for those who don't have access to their own mobile devices, we're making available a limited number of MP3 players and headphone sets. These will be found at the locations listed below. They will be at some of these locations from 28 January, but do see the location specific information below.
If you borrow from the library, you will simply need your library card to book one out. If you aren’t a member of Inspire libraries, membership is free and simple – find out more here. You can check availability of the MP3s at the relevant libraries by searching our library catalogue here.
Do make sure that you plan your walk so that you can pick up and return the equipment on a day and time that the venue is open! There are links below to check library opening times.
Please note, for other venues, you may be asked to leave a deposit.
