Festival

The Ancient World of Rituals & Folklore

Hackney Bridge

Britain's seasonal calendar goes back thousands of years, and most of us celebrate parts of it without actually knowing where they came from. This talk traces that lineage from Samhain to Beltane to the solstice gatherings, with someone who's spent a lifetime in those practices. It's the kind of thing that changes how you read the landscape and the year.

Seren Hawley-Plows brings firsthand knowledge of ancient traditions, herbalism and folklore to unpack the stories behind the rituals we still keep. There's a Q&A after, which is where the best conversations usually happen. If you're the type to wonder why we do what we do, or you're already into history and the natural world, this lands at Hackney Bridge.
