Internationally renowned storyteller Ben Haggarty, writer of The DFC‘s Mezolith and Will Scoggins Skull strips, returns to Lancaster on Friday 6th June and slips behind the lights into the dark side of fairground, where you risk getting more than you bargained for.

Via urban legend, fairytale and freak-show, ready yourself for an alarming journey through the ambivalent mythology of the Sandman for this Lancaster Arts City First Friday event.
