Folk Ore – Tales of darkness, fire and transformation

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

Smiths stands apart. They hold the magic of creation in the hands, wrought of fire and ore into metals that might become the finest of jewels or the sharpest of blades. Step into a world of darkness, fire and transformation with storytellers Fiona Eadie and Kirsty Hartsiotis, to discover ancient smithing legends from two shapeshifting magicians to Freya’s golden necklace and Hephaestus’ golden net. Even the very dome of the sky was forged by the Finnish magician Ilmarinen.

For all aged 12 and over. Doors open at 4.15pm.

Tickets £5 for adults, £3 for young people.
