6 issues in bundle. Weird Walk is an ever entertaining journal of wanderings and wonderings around the British Isles. What started as a few friends going for a walk has turned in to somewhat of a cult following that now has an impressive array of contributors discussing everything from folklore to prehistoric monuments to countryside free access to ritual animal disguises. The flavour of each issue is always something that little bit  different and beautiful illustrations sit alongside photographs to help tell a tale of our connection with our landscapes. Each A5 zine issue is printed on high quality recycled stock and 40 - 48 pages. 

Issue 1

Uncovering medieval graffiti, chat with writer/ recording artist Justin Hopper, take a trip around Avebury’s Neolithic wonderland, absorb some blackened dungeon synth, and meet a Tudor weird walking inspiration.

Issue 2

In this issue we will be channelling Samhain, the gateway to the darker half of the year, poised between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice. Explore nature’s bounty alongside forager Adele Nozedar and celebrate an uplifting, eclectic take on folk dance with Boss Morris.

Issue 3

A drunken Norse king, boozelore to pick out the legends and customs concealed in your glass. Dolmania takes you down the road to the Devil’s Den, while new feature High Horses hikes out to Uffington. Ritual renaissance with artist Ben Edge, and the undisputed king of 'Northern Gothic' Andrew Michael Hurley discusses his work and the landscape and folklore therein.

Issue 4

Nick Hayes addresses free access, land rights, and who owns the British countryside to open spaces directly in this issue’s interview. Zakia Sewell speaks of discovering a different kind of Britain, the Albion that she has navigated on her excellent BBC radio shows. Stewart Lee finds his own connection with the landscape on a walk from Lamorna, uniting passions for visionary artists and prehistoric monuments.

Issue 5

Exploration of folk horror in children’s literature. Stewart Lee digs into the travels and tales of the mysterious writer Blanche E. Ward. Ritual animal disguise, water worship and the gothic tones of the pipe organ spin and cultural narratives.


Issue 6

Grab a mulled cider and join us as we honour the winter solstice, bid farewell to the old year and welcome in the new with the sixth issue of our zine.  Wander through the magical woodland of Savernake Forest, and explore Lundy, an island wreathed in myth. Come on a doom (metal) stroll with Archer Sanderson, and witness the collision of contemporary art and ancient megaliths with Jeremy Deller, a true weird walking inspiration if ever there was one. Winter is upon us… may your hearth be warm and your Yule log bright.
