An illustrated talk by Dr Kevin Dixon on Thurs 12th March

Pixies, ghosts, giants, sea serpents, Greek heroes, and the Devil: all have made appearances in our county. 

Are they simply traditional stories that we once regarded as true but which are now discredited and should be dismissed? 

Or do our local legends have meanings and origins we can understand, and are we still creating myths in new ways? Join Dr Kevin Dixon for a fascinating wander around the county as he explores both old and new Devon legends — and the stories we tell ourselves.

? Thursday 12th March 7pm - 8pm
