Explore the hidden history of witchcraft across the West Midlands with a guided tour through the atmospheric rooms and corridors of historic Himley Hall. Led by Damian, author of A Gathering of Witches and Witchcraft in the West Midlands, this walk uncovers the protective marks, concealed objects, and everyday beliefs that shaped how local people defended themselves against unseen forces.
At 11.00am, join Damian for a hall tour that reveals centuries of superstition — from carved symbols to household charms — and the stories of the families who placed them there.
From 1pm to 3pm, visitors are invited to explore a free exhibition, showcasing regional folklore, protective magic, and the ways Midlands communities understood and responded to witchcraft.
