Talk: 'Folk Tales and Legends of the Cotswolds' with Kirsty Hartsiotis

  • The Museum in the Park Stratford Park, Stratford Road Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, GL5 4AF United Kingdom (map)

Discover mysterious, funny and romantic Cotswolds tales - delving into the traditions of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Bath and much more! The Cotswolds spans the west of England from Bath in the south up to Chipping Campden in the north, from Woodstock in the east to Stroud in the west. We’ll be going as far back in time as King Bladud of Bath, explore a medieval love affair at Woodstock, dip into Tudor history in Bisley, be petrified at the Rollrights and discover what the mice were doing in Gloucester – and more! This talk by folklorist and storyteller Kirsty Hartsiotis explores the tales told by the folk in the region - taking in evil queens, greedy kings, flying monks, little folk, big cats and much, much more! Discover what makes the Cotswolds tick!
