From its very beginnings, Torquay folk had an interest in exploring occult ideas outside of mainstream religion and philosophy. Join Dr Kevin Dixon for a light-hearted talk covering local pixies, druids, witchcraft, cunning folk, ghosts, pseudoscience, spiritualism, and much more. Kevin is the author of the book 'Torquay. A Social History', is the Chair of Consumer Health Champion and Healthwatch, and gives talks on local history.
The Shilstone Café will be open between 6pm and 7pm for drinks and cake.
