LATES AT SUDBURY ARTS CENTRE – MEDIEVAL FESTIVAL TALKS – £8
Jo Hickey-Hall – Fae Folk in the medieval mindset
Folklorist, researcher and social historian with a long-held interest in the relationship between supernatural experience, local landscape and oral tradition. I was born in Jersey, an island scattered with a network of ancient dolmens and rich in folklore. Partly due to my Irish heritage and the wonderful folktales of my father, I am particularly inspired by the survival of oral lore in rural communities.
Bethan Briggs-Miller (Eerie Essex) – Strange tales from medieval Suffolk
Creator and presenter of Eerie Essex podcast exploring the folklore, urban legends and supernatural encounters that form part of the region’s rich history.
Gemma Oakley – What has Folk ever done for us? Why now is the time to revisit medieval agricultural celebrations.
