Local Fairy Tales and Fairy Folk: An Evening of High Peak Fairy Stories
Date and time
Dr Kathryn Starnes and Dr Mark Henderson explore traditional Peak District Folktales, their meaning, provenance and significance today.
About this event
Dr Kathryn Starnes, lecturer in international relations & folklore and Dr Mark Henderson, storyteller and collector of Peak District tales, will host an evening of local stories about fairies. We’ll tell a few traditional Peak District stories and then discuss the provenance of each, its distribution, its underlying significance for the societies/cultures through which it has evolved and (perhaps) ways in which it might have been updated for contemporary audiences.
Come along and listen and then join in the discussions!
This event will be held at Glossop Labour Club in their upstairs room. Grab a drink from the bar on your way up!
