Join us for a free (but ticketed) talk by the creators of the Bath Hidden Histories Walk, Dr Molly Conisbee from the University of Bath and Professor Ruth Penfold-Mounce from the University of York. During their talk they will reflect on how and why some stories, histories and knowledge(s) become public and others suppressed, and the extent to which people are willing to engage with the topics of death and crime.

Funeral biscuits will be provided for all attendees. Sign up for the event and come along to find out more about what these are!

Brought to you by the Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath

The evening marks the official launch of the podcast walk hosted by the University of Bath’s Centre for Death and Society, which you can do in your own time. The walk uncovers some of the deaths and crimes that have taken place in Bath over the centuries, and will take you around some of the most well known locations in the city at the same time.  It is free and available here: https://cdaswalk.org/
