Cunning Folk of the Forest, Crown & Sceptre, Ross-on-Wye, 19/05/26

Having told the tale of the sin-eater of Ross, and the naming of Old Maid’s Walk, along with the story of the May Hill sensation, featuring wise woman “Old Ellen”, on my last visit to the Crown & Sceptre, I thought I’d dip into the newspaper archives again to find more tales of the cunning folk of the forest, as well as telling a few more of my favourite traditional stories.

Tickets, priced £5, in advance and on the door. Advance tickets available here — Crown & Sceptre, Ross-on-Wye, Tuesday, May 19th, 2026, first story 7.30pm.

Copies of the Sin Eater of Ross & Other Local Tales storynote, featuring stories from the original set in March, will also be available, priced £5.
