This St Swithin’s Day, join author and folklorist Liza Frank as she discusses the wonders of folklore all around us, and demonstrates how household objects can help you make decisions and predict the future. Just keep your fingers crossed that it doesn’t rain!

Liza Frank has written extensively about folklore for The Everyday Lore Project and has a Masters in Folklore Studies from University of Hertfordshire. Her second book ‘Everyday Folklore, An almanac for the ritual year’ was published in 2023 and her latest book ‘Household Lore, Folklore, Traditions and Remedies for Every Room in Your Home’ published in November 2025. She also writes as the Folklore Agony Aunt using folklore to solve problems where conventional advice has failed.
