Learn about the weird and wonderful rituals and festivals throughout the UK.

Actor and podcaster Tim Downie is fascinated by British folklore – so much so that he has now written a book where he brings to life the mythical stories that have shaped our isles. Written with real enthusiasm and passion, Tim spent months travelling to weird and wonderful rituals and festivals throughout the UK to discover the people and stories behind them. The result is the enchanting book Rituals: A Folk Journey Through The Seasons, published by Random House, priced £22 hardback.

We have three copies of Rituals to give away, so to be in with a chance of winning a copy, complete your details. This competition closes on 5 November 2026.
