Waking The Witch

date_range 27th October, 2023

Every effort has been made to verify the accuracy of the event information but we recommend contacting the event organisers before attending.

The dark days of the witch trials left a powerful mark on the town of Dumfries… At the height of the persecutions, at least 78 people were accused of witchcraft, with many more affected in the wider region.

Join award-winning storytellers, Mostly Ghostly, as they reawaken a collection of historical, thought-provoking accounts, through layers of rich narrative and first-hand dramatisations, exploring cases of alleged witchcraft and their devastating human consequences…

The launch of our new tour at the 2023 Wild Goose Festival, features a special evening visit to Dumfries Museum and the Old Bridge House Museum.

Event starts 7pm
