Chasing Crockern is an exciting new venture that will explore the rich heritage, stories and folklore of Dartmoor. Through a series of events, Villages in Action and storytellers Sara Hurley and Lisa Schneidau seek to connect communities with their historical roots, celebrate the enduring legacy of Dartmoor's folk tales, and re-imagine them in ways that resonate with modern life.

Generously supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England using money raised by National Lottery players, the project will bring a myriad of events, story walks, live performances, talks, and exhibitions to Dartmoor over the next 18 months.
