Yuletide Folklore Christmas Talk
Advertisement
Come gather in the warm as the nights draw in and the darkest season of the year creeps towards Yule and the turning of the year.
Find out some strange old Christmas traditions and enjoy some ancient Yule tales from the Lands of the North, and find out why the sea tastes of salt, why trolls are scared of cats, and why you should never go early to church on a Christmas morning...
This talk is led by historian and author David Silk, with hot drinks available to purchase, and a gift shop.
Doors open at 5:45pm and this event takes place in the Black Gate which is fully accessible.
