Folklore Society celebrates all things Folklore, and the society promotes the fact that Folklore is an essential part of human history, and it has a significant impact on modern culture. The goal is to explore Folklore from all over the world and share it with other members of society.
Events and Activities
Folklore Society meets every Friday evening from 6 – 8 pm at the ResLife Gardens. They gather around a campfire and make S'mores while listening to folklore tales. Each week, we pick a different theme, so no two sessions are the same!

Folklore is Educational! (But in a cool, fun way)

Folklore is Eventful! (Not the bad kind of eventful)
There's more to Folklore than just weekly sessions. They plan events throughout the year, from trips out, crafting sessions, and quiz nights and collaborate regularly with our friends at RAMS, Myth, Coven and LGBTQ+ to put on events such as the Monster Ball, Valentine's Bash and of course, Tavern Night.
