A very special evening and event in Brigg on Thursday March 13th where we are working with The Lincolnshire Folktales a project exploring the origins, legacies, connections and futures of Lincolnshire folk tales, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and Nottingham Trent University.

Juliet E. McKenna
Nick Triplow
who have all contributed to the book "Lincolnshire Folk Tales Reimagined" edited by Anna Milon, Rory Waterman.
As the most recent wave of interest in folklore and folk customs continues to grow, this anthology takes us to England’s second largest, though often overlooked, county of Lincolnshire. It offers a variety show bill of modern interpretations of traditional tales – not set in aspic, or regarded as fixed documents from the past – which continue to change with the ‘folk’.
This book brings together new, original fiction and poetry by fifteen of Lincolnshire’s most celebrated writers, all taking inspiration from the county’s rich, diverse, and evolving heritage of folk tales. Here readers will find boggarts, rogues, princesses, witches, demons, old rites and customs. Mostly, however, the stories and poems in this book are concerned with how our cultural heritage might add colour to our lives, with ripping good yarns for their own sakes and for our times.
