The Centre for Folklore, Myth & Magic

A home and meeting point for Folklore in the North of England, celebrating Arts, Film, Crafts, Library, Archive, Education, Workshops, Exhibitions, Storytelling, Conferences and Local Folk History.

Within the Centre we have a small Folklore Shop selling a variety of folklore inspired pieces by artists and makers across the UK, including prints, cards, ceramics, bags, mugs, ornaments, wands and much more! We also have a local second-hand bookseller, who stocks the shelves, with a great eye for finding gorgeous folklore and related books.

We aim to support artists and local business while a percentage goes towards keeping our activities going.
