Superstitions: Old Fears, Everyday Rituals

Superstitions at Bromwich Hall: Old Fears, Everyday Rituals - Bromwich Hall carries centuries of witch-marks carved to keep danger out - but the beliefs behind them didn't vanish.
Join us for a talk exploring the superstitions people once relied on, and the everyday ones we still follow today: black cats crossing our path, walking under ladders, touching wood, avoiding umbrellas indoors, and more. Discover how these small habits grew from deep fears, how they shaped ordinary life, and why so many of them still cling to us now.
Suitable for over 18s. Talk will be held in the Great Hall. Tearoom will be open for refreshments.
