Trips and Visits!
Studying the European Witchcraze wouldn't be complete without a trip up to North Lancashire, the home-town of the Pendle Witches and where they were trialled and executed. Where restrictions and guidance allow, we can't wait to take you.
We'll also be studying the modern day Troubles in Northern Ireland. Again we're really hoping we can take you to visit this fascinating part of the UK.
