About
Part of Legends and Lore
Two leading experts in the weird yet everyday world of British folklore celebrate the launch of a definitive and gripping new guide.
Author Ceri Holbrook appears in conversation about her new book, co-written by Owen Davies, Folklore: A Journey Through the Past and Present, with Professor Melanie Giles. The 45-minute discussion will be followed by a Q&A, and the opportunity to get your book signed after the event.
Join RNCM students afterwards for a special live performance from the shape-shifting ensemble NOMAD. Witching Hour is a spellbinding live performance that merges classical, contemporary, and folk music with storytelling.
