Fenland Folklore @ East Anglian Folklore Centre

A Northumbrian queen sails to the Isle of Ely in pursuit of spiritual freedom.

In a demon-haunted barrow of Crowland, a renowned warrior battles temptation.

Shadows in Somersham Wood flicker as a spirit of flame blazes blasphemies.

And—ever and anon—a ghostly black dog, its eyes like saucers, stalks the land.

In this creative writing workshop, we will explore the legends of the Fens, drawing on a range of texts to inspire new creative visions. You will leave the workshop thoroughly immersed in the folklore of the area and brimming with ideas about how to develop setting and plot. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned novelist, these hands-on exercises and stimulating source material will fire your imagination.
