Whisht! Lads: North East Folklore

For this week's podcast we're doing something a bit different, wandering around the Drake Stone feeling its energy and sharing the tales we've heard about its history. We also chat about community building, permission to folk, and how Linsey became to be known at the Westminster Lady If you'd like to meet me for a wander and chat about your favourite north east folklore tale, email northeastfolkloresociety@gmail.com

I met with Lauren Moss (@folkloriclauren) in a very wet and windy Bamburgh to hear about the Laidly Worm of Bamburgh.   We chat about immersive folklore experiences, medieval recipes (with herbs, please), and her recommended local sites to head along to and learn more about north east folklore.   If you'd like to meet me for a wander and chat, email northeastfolkloresociety@gmail.com

Join Dave Silk and the North East Folklore Society's, Nikki, for a wander around St Andrews' graveyard to hear the folklore tale, Johnny Reed's Cat. Come for the spooky cat; but stay for the chat about churches, local authors, and where to look if you're interested in North East folklore.
