It’s been lots of work and the boggarts haven’t been helpful so a few finishing touches to add tomorrow, but here’s a sneak peak at our new exhibition. Needs sound on… 😧 A huge thanks to Beach Combing Tales of Britain and Ireland Ceri Houlbrook Boggart Stones

The first boggart to live in our wonderful boggart cave! Made by a lovely boy visiting from Bahrain, we also discovered some terrifying Bahrain tales. Do come along, find out about boggarts in our new exhibition, and be inspired to produce your own boggart addition to display!

In Todmorden for a flying visit, well walking - stumbled across the excellent Folklore Centre. Latest exhibition is on Boggarts, also regular talks & house the library of the late Kai Roberts. If in area do visit, they’re run on a shoestring. The Folklore Centre, Todmorden folkloremythmagic.com/about

Question for the wider UK #Folklore community. Are there any 'Toot' place names in your area that have folklore / supernatural / occult connections?
