Two talks in one, focused around our Old Stones book and 25 Years of the Megalithic Portal. Very kindly hosted by Norfolk Folklore Society.

The Old Stones - A highly illustrated talk covering many of the fascinating themes, mysteries and new discoveries highlighted in our book, along with a look at lesser-known but interesting sites, including some in the local area.

Celebrating 25 Years of the Megalithic Portal - A look back on an incredible 30 years of stones enthusiasm (including 25 of the Megalithic Portal). A whistlestop tour of sites, stories, humour and early web geekery… Andy asks: ‘Was it all worth it? — and what’s next?’
Spoiler: yes.
