About

We’re delighted to host this event as part of the Oxford Road Corridor’s Cultural Welcome, taking place between Mon 6-Sun 12 Oct 2025. The Cultural Welcome is a week of events designed to help students discover the creative and cultural spaces of Manchester’s Knowledge Quarter. Find out more. 

Step into a world where folklore, magic, and music intertwine. Witching Hour is a spellbinding live performance that merges classical, contemporary, and folk music with storytelling. This event is also part of our Legends and Lore series.

Join us before this performance as 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.
