Folklore of the Barrows: Storytelling with Olly Lavery

What stories grew around Britain's burial mounds?

Step into the Tithe Barn for a 50-minute storytelling session with Oliver Lavery, exploring three traditional tales linked to Britain's passage graves and hidden places. The stories bring in tomb guardians, sleeping kings, fairy smiths and forgotten gods, tracing the legends that grew around ancient monuments after their builders had been forgotten.

This is a free drop-in session between the afternoon talks, with the organiser inviting visitors to gather round with a drink. Parking is available on site from the Stroud Road entrance, with level access from the car park, disabled spaces near the building and an accessible toilet.

Free entry. Drop in between talks.
