£5.00 – £16.99
Tuesday 25th August, 6pm (Tickets £5 or £16.99 inc signed book)
A special treat for lovers of witches, historical fiction and Scotland!
Set in 1629 during the Scottish witch trials, the tale follows Mòrag – a healer and midwife in her rural town. Disappearing children and mysterious illness soon cast suspicion of witchcraft, and before long a young girl is accused, and imprisoned. As Mòrag investigates this injustice, she uncovers hidden secrets that prove paranoia and prejudice are far more dangerous than magic…
A fascinating tale of witch-hunts and the resilience of women in 17th century Scotland, we hope you can make it along for a magical evening with Mairi!
