The Haunted Moor

On todays final show of 2024 we take a long walk on the moor with writer and gentleman Jeremy Dyson.


We first head to Ripon to witness the supposed longest surviving continuous folklore practice in the world, The Ripon Hornblower, and find out more about this extraordinary custom.


We grab our walking boots and head up Ilkely Moor, with dark tales of alien encounters and cannibals that lurk amongst the boulders. We discuss ghostly encounters on the dark moor as well as Jeremy being not only one forth of the legendary creative team that gave us the League of Gentleman, but also the co creator of the hit play Ghost Stories.


Expect ghosts, ghouls and goblins as we wander the overgrown paths of Ilkley Moor bah t'at!


Enjoy!
