🌌 Horror, Humour & The Hand of Glory

Join us for a captivating evening that celebrates the eerie tales of folklore and enchanting music! 🎶

📖 The Folklore Of Freebrough Hill

Embark on a dream-like journey with Bob Fischer, as he narrates a shaggy dog tale encompassing 12,000 years of history. Discover the rich folklore tied to Freebrough Hill, situated alongside the A171 moorland road to Whitby. From the last Ice Age to modern-day North Yorkshire, Bob spins a magical narrative featuring Vikings, Romans, giants, demons, and the legendary sleeping knights of King Arthur.

✨ The Hand of Glory: A Biography

Don't miss the dramatic performance by Bob Beagrie from his upcoming prose poetry collection, The Hand of Glory: a biography (Yaffle Press 2025). His presentation will delve into the tales of the infamous Hand of Glory, a supposedly magical artifact currently displayed in Whitby Museum. With descriptions like “...a real roller coaster of a read...” and “a fascinating cavalcade of dark humour and social observation,” this is set to be a highlight of the evening.
