Join Devon authors Roselle Angwin and Lisa Schneidau for a celebration of British trees, their folklore and magic. 

This is a long-overdue book launch for two new books that were published in lockdown: Roselle's A Spell in the Forest (Moon Books) and Lisa's Woodland Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland (The History Press). Roselle and Lisa will be presenting poems, storytellings and musings on different trees related to the wheel of the year.

Refreshments will be available.

We encourage face masks to be worn indoors at this event.
