An Evening with Lally MacBeth

Thrilled to welcome Cornwall-based artist, writer and curator Lally MacBeth to share her new book The Lost Folk , exploring Folk – past, present and future.

In The Lost Folk, Lally MacBeth is on a mission to breathe new life into these rapidly disappearing customs.  Reminding us that folk is for everyone, it does not belong to an imagined, halcyon past, but is constantly being drawn from everyday lives and communities. Looking at what folk customs have meant in Britain’s past, and shining a light on what they can and should mean as we move into the future, we’re encouraged to use the book as an inspiration – become collectors and creators of our very own folk traditions.
