Britain's What's On Event Guide
Talk: The Curious Follies of Bristol & South Glos
Follies are weird bits of architectural fancy with no practical use, that are dotted around the area, some visible to the public on big estates, and some hidden away, built out of passion, eccentricity, or just to show off!
Jonathan Holt will take us on a wonderful tour of Bristol & South Gloucestershire revealing the stories behind the region’s many architectural follies. He is the author of Bristol & South Gloucestershire Follies, the result of numerous explorations, as well as books on Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, and Gloucestershire. He is also a tour guide, and editor of Follies, the organ of the Folly Fellowship, a charity dedicated to their preservation and enjoyment (www.follies.org.uk).
As a true folly enthusiast, Jonathan Holt has built a shell house in his garden in Bath.
Barn and Bar open from 6:30pm. Free parking on site.
The talk is also available online as a livestream on Zoom - you will be sent the email link by 6pm.
