Discover the true history of Halloween including the role of Robert Burns and Scotland in its development.

Is Halloween Christian or Pagan? Is it European or American? Is it commercial or spiritual?

This talk will explore the real history of Halloween in all its brilliant complexity. It will be presented by Judith Hewitt, Museums Curator for the East of Dumfries and Galloway Council Museums. In a previous role, she curated the exhibition ‘Glitter and Gravedust: Halloween past and present.’

This event is part of the Wild Goose Festival 2024 produced by The Stove Network
