The wolves are running! Catch a rare screening of The Box of Delights series this Saturday night on bbc four

And a friendly reminder that a wonderful audio adaptation of The Dark Is Rising can still be heard on bbc sounds and is a treasure of a retelling if not just for Johnny flynn’s accompanying theme.

Sadly the numbers aren’t there for our ghost stories screening this Wednesday

If you purchased a ticket we will process your refund and apologies for not being able to do the screening

Bit gutted as nobody in Bristol does folk film screenings and we think there is an audience, but we hope to do more in the new year

Idea for the New year...

Anyone interested in a monthly art club..To make stuff, draw, collage, write, read etc.. maybe it will be a bit nature themed.

We find it hard to not get distracted these days so thought for a few hours a month we could get together and make stuff. In the cold months by the fire in the roundhouse and in the warmer months outside.

Who's in? If people are interested we will start in January!

`Don’t do that or a monster will come and take you away’

Currently researching about the creatures we were told of as kids in order to keep our activities in check.

I particularly love that they change dependant on specific needs such as playing on ice or in the desert. There is story that is told to teens that they should always show (deserved) respect to their family unless they want to be ‘stolen’ and made into (essentially) breeding factories by the non-human peoples that live in the ‘reflection of the lake’…yikes!

What scary stories did you get told as a child to stop you from doing something?

20/10/2024

This time next week we will be welcoming in the darkness with food around the fire from , live music from ,folktales, tea and more 🔥

Ewwww! I hear you say

Ewwww indeed. But did you know this type of fungus is called Tremella Mesentrica aka Witches Butter. It comes in yellow, black, brown and green. In Wales it’s fairy butter as it’s found in mines. Folklore of this fungi include

The regurgitation of carriers after stealing for witches to give to the devil.

If found around your door frame it meant that your house had been cursed by a Witch.

I’ll be talking about spooky fungi and food folklore at our next event on the 27th!
