“I can see similarities between what’s happening today and what was happening then.” @TheAliceRoberts’s new series explores the “terrible superstition” behind the English witch trials, looking at how the “personal ambition of powerful men” ripped communities apart. #TimesRadio

Happy Diwali 2025. From darkness emerges light. We made history by celebrating the first ever Diwali at the very historic mayor's parlour in Bath. Diversity, equality and inclusivity is our super strength.
