Historic Building Mythbusting Shows

There are a number of upcoming shows in which James Wright will speak in person about his book Historic Building Mythbusting – Uncovering Folklore, History and Archaeology. Each event will usually consist of a talk lasting 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 show for your organisation, please get in contact with us to discuss.
