Join us in the Field System Gallery for a reading and Q and A with folklorist and author of The Lost Folk, Lally McBeth.

In The Lost Folk, Lally MacBeth is on a mission to breathe new life into these rapidly disappearing customs. She reminds us that folk is for everyone, and does not belong to an imagined, halcyon past, but is constantly being drawn from everyday lives and communities. As well as looking at what folk customs have meant in Britain’s past, she shines a light on what they can and should mean as we move into the future - encouraging us to use the book as an inspiration, and become collectors and creators of our very own folk traditions.

You can book a ticket which reserves you a signed copy of the book and seat, (and is the same as the books cover price!) for £20.00 plus booking fee, limited to 18 tickets. Book HERE.

You can also attend free of charge, no booking required (maybe standing, no reserved book, although they will be available to buy and be signed after the event).

Lally graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2013 with a First Class Honours in Fashion History & Theory, and has since divided her time between being sensible and silly. Lally founded The Folk Archive in 2020, and co-founded Stone Club with Matthew Shaw in 2021. Lally’s first book The Lost Folk is published by Faber
