What is The Equinox Colloquium?
A Curation of Talks, Walks, Plays and Books.
A celebration of outputs of research inspired by the Museum’s Collections, Library and Archives – all the things which we love here at MWM.

This year we are fortunate to be featuring a pre-launch talk by the author of an important new text on the occult history of the UK; CURSED BRITAIN, published by Yale University Press, as well as presentations on the theme of ACCUSATION & PERSECUTION – the theme of this year’s convention which runs Saturday 21st to Sunday 22nd September.

We have offerings from Troy Books authors MICHAEL SLATER (The Old Woman & The Conjurors) and STEVE PATTERSON (Spells from The Wise Woman’s Cottage) who will be leading on Sunday a specially imagined story-walk into the woods where Joan Wytte rests.

We are pleased to present on Friday and Saturday evenings, two plays new to Boscastle – THE PENDLE WITCH & THE WITCH IN THE WOODS and will be revealing our reading list for A Banned Book at Bedtime as part of our 2019 BANNED BOOKS WEEK activity.
