What to expect

Andrew Sneddon, Celeste McNamara and Mary McAuliffe examine the forces behind persecution, linking the festival’s historical setting to questions about exclusion and authority. This is a panel discussion in the Parade Tower, rather than a dramatisation of a witch trial.

The discussion runs from 15:30 to 17:00 on 1 November. The organiser marked it sold out when checked, so confirm any returns before making travel plans. Admission is for ages 16 and up, with an adult required for younger ticket holders.
