Back by popular demand, tickets have gone on sale today (December 1) for the second talk at the Somerset Rural Life Museum in Glastonbury by Professor Ronald Hutton.

Professor Hutton will be giving a talk at the museum called The History and Mythology of Glastonbury, on Tuesday November 3 2020 at 7.30pm, and tickets are expected to sell out very quickly.

After the success of his talk at the museum in October this year he has agreed to return and repeat the talk again in autumn 2020.

The Professor of History at the University of Bristol, he will share his insights on the history and mythology of Glastonbury.

He is a leading authority on history of the British Isles in the 16th and 17th centuries, on ancient and medieval paganism and magic, and on the global context of witchcraft beliefs.

He is also the leading historian of the ritual year in Britain and of modern paganism. He has written many books, and appeared numerous times on TV and radio including Edwardian Farm and Victorian Farm.

The talk will be held in the Community Learning Space at the Somerset Rural Life Museum.

Tickets are priced at £9.50 and are available now via the red button below.
