Landscapes and Legends
Saturday 22nd May 2010
10.30 am – 4.00 pm
Tutor: Tom Hughes
Why should boggy ground lead to tales of dragons? Why are mermaids associated with sunken bells in lakes? And as 2010 is the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, we shall be asking what lies behind the Legend of Alderley.
Join us to explore the many legends of Cheshire, from such marvels to curious folktales of fools and hidden treasure. Tales will be told in the traditional manner. Then we shall consider the landscapes of Cheshire and examine why such stories might arise and whether they contain a grain of truth. If the weather is clement, we shall venture into a place of story and song. Sturdy footwear will be needed.
