Between June 2024 and July 2025, James Wright of Triskele Heritage will be setting off on a promotional book tour after the release of Historic Building Mythbusting – Uncovering Folklore, History and Archaeology. Unless otherwise stated, each event will usually consist of a talk lasting 45-60 minutes, Q&A session, and the opportunity to pick up a signed copy of the book.
Please note that, unless otherwise stated, most of these events will be promoted by organisations separate to Triskele Heritage. Anyone wishing to attend will need to make arrangements with the individual groups directly.
If you would like to book a date on the tour, please get in contact with us to discuss.
