SUMMARY:Boggarts\, Beasts &amp\; Burnley: Creative Folklore Writing with Dr
  David Hartley
DESCRIPTION:To all the wonderful folk of Burnley… get your pens sharp and
  your imagination even sharper with a fiendish &amp\; fabulous folklore-fo
 cused creative writing workshop with the Burnley Pride of Place Project. J
 oin ‘weird fiction’ writer Dr David Hartley for an imaginative tour ar
 ound the local legends of Burnley before putting pen to paper to start wri
 ting your own terrific tales. We’ll find mischievous spirits and restles
 s ghosts\, we’ll summon deadly beasts and the devil himself\, and we’l
 l ask ourselves some big questions\; what folktales do we tell ourselves i
 n the modern day? How can stories help us understand ourselves better? And
  how on earth do we put the boggart back into his hole…?!\n\nNo experien
 ce necessary! All abilities welcome from seasoned authors to first-time sc
 ribblers. Folklore is for everyone\, and everyone has a tale to tell. And 
 if you already know a local legend or two\, bring them along to share with
  the group! The fire is lit\, the night is drawing in\, it’s time to spi
 n a yarn or two…\n\nSuitable for ages 15+\n\nThis event is part of the B
