So for my first workshop with the young people, I asked the group to develop their own tour of Burnley. We started with thinking about how we would feel when we met him, if he had come through our door – maybe a bit unsure of whether to curtsey or bow, maybe confrontational what we would show him, and why. We explored what Prince Charles would want to see, what his interests are, such as Townley Hall and its beautiful gardens or Offshoots and its eco credentials. And we also explored what the group thought Prince Charles should see – from their house or going round to their Aunties for tea, to Asda so he can do his own shopping or Burnleywood so he can see the real Burnley. We then thought about how he and they might feel after they had spent the day together – maybe sad to see him go, or like they’d done something good for Burnley and that their tour might have changed something, and maybe the Prince would be determined to change things that he’d seen here.
