Lancashire Witches

Marketing Lancashire Lancashire Witches

The trials of the Pendle witches in 1612 are among the most famous witch trials in English history, and some of the best recorded of the 17th century.

This project marked an important time in our local history, celebrating the 400 year anniversary of the Lancashire Witch Trials. The aim was to promote a trail that follows all the historical landmarks of the famous story of the Pendle Witches from Barrowford to Lancaster.

History

Running across digital, print and social media, our approach to this integrated campaign was based on ‘discovery’. We created the brand mark and strap line before developing an interactive trail map which involved plotting historical sites and key partners. This was then integrated into a pocket information book distributed to 35,000 people through two key tourist magazines.
