About the event

The Lost Folk book evening with Lally MacBeth
An evening of discussion and folklore with Cornwall-based artist, writer and curator Lally MacBeth

Join us at Tate St Ives for an evening with Lally MacBeth, as she discusses her new book The Lost Folk, published by Faber.

In this new book, MacBeth explores the customs, places and everyday objects that shape what we understand as ‘folk’ in Britain. From seasonal rituals to overlooked local traditions, The Lost Folk reflects on how folk culture can be found in plain sight – and considers how it might continue to evolve in the future.

As part of the event, MacBeth will be joined in conversation by Matthew Shaw, co-founder of Stone Club. They will discuss themes from the book, including performance, landscape, community and the role of folk practices today. The event will also feature a conversation with folk singer Angeline Morrison, weaving in a few folk songs offering a live connection to the sounds and stories explored in the book.

Following the discussion, there will be a Q&A and book signing. Copies of The Lost Folk will be available to purchase from the Tate St Ives shop.


Tate Members and Tate Collective £8 ticket only, £26.50 ticket + book.

Non-Members (including locals pass holders) £10 ticket only, £30 ticket + book
