  • Booking not needed

Step into a world of British folklore at Moseley Old Hall with Stranger Folk, Volume 1: Crone Calling. As the spirit and human worlds collide, sneaky goblins, cunning boggarts and Stranger Folk are slipping through a magical rift to stir up trouble.

Download the free Stranger Folk app before your visit and follow the mysterious Old Crone through a series of silly and magical tasks. Families can work together using just one mobile phone to harness the elements, find the Stranger Folk and heal the rift between the human and spirit worlds.
