Bourne Hall Museum Kids Club – Heroes and Villains: Stories and Poems about Legends

Saturday, July 12th (1pm-2.30pm)

In this talk with slides by Ana McLaughlin, who has written many books on folk law, we discover the difference between myths and legends, and how legends have sprung up around real people and events. We talk about quests and voyages and legendary lands, and about figures like King Arthur and Boudicca. We also look at the legend of Filey Brigg, a place which combines inspiration from the landscape and its historical discoveries with dragons and cake! What’s not to like?

We close with the World Cup of Legendary Beasts and Baddies where the children get to decide who wins as opponents including Morgan le Fay, Rita the Pirate and Spring-Heeled Jack face adversaries such as the selkie, the Loch Ness Monster and the Yeti.

Recommended for children ages 8 – 12+. £6.50 per ticket.
