The Vampire Rabbit and his curious kin (Saturday 26th March, 5pm)
** Please note: This lecture will take place on the second floor of the Black Gate, which is fully accessible to wheelchair users. Entry to the rest of Newcastle Castle is not included, and tickets must be purchased separately on the day if you would like to explore the rest of the site. **
Crouching above a doorway behind St. Nicholas' Cathedral is the small sculpture of a bunny so inexplicably fierce that it has become known as The Vampire Rabbit. Here, in seasonal honour of the Easter Bunny, Gail-Nina Anderson explores the strange traditions concerning rabbits and hares in folklore, religion and art, and speculates as to why Newcastle should have found itself with such a ferocious specimen.
