Viking Lives: Ghost Stories

Join Richard Fidler and Kári Gíslason, authors of the best-selling Saga Land, for a very special, spectral evening of Viking Lives: Ghost Stories.

In this live recording of their new podcast, Richard and Kári bring to life (or not) the most haunting tales from the sagas, regale audiences with their own encounters with the supernatural, and consider why Icelanders have so many words for ‘ghost.’

This unmissable event will haunt you in the best possible way.

*Please note: This event concludes at 9:30pm. The last shuttle from the Byron Bay Interchange bus terminal to the Cavanbah Centre car park will depart at 10pm.
