About this Event

Almost 90% of people in England are familiar with the figure of Robin Hood. A quarter of people in England today say the summer or winter solstices are of spiritual significance to them personally.

Back in February, the team behind the The National Folklore Survey for England came to Weston Park Museum to introduce the project and outline some of its early findings. Now they're returning to share their discoveries about what the people of England value, believe, and practice. To find out more, please visit: https://www.nationalfolkloresurvey.co.uk/
