See what’s included ->

Immerse yourself in the mysticism of darkening autumnal days and join the Travelling Talesman as he weaves a tapestry of eerie wonders and spine-chilling encounters by the glowing hearth of our Great Roundhouse…

Settle by the crackling fire and lose yourself in storytelling. Are gruesome goblin hordes waiting in the wilds to prey on unwary travellers? Do ghouls haunt our graveyards? Are there beasties with long legs? Tales abound of three different monsters, each with their own peculiarities and none of them quite what you think! Join the Travelling Talesman on an adventure into darkness to meet the things that go bump in the night…

There will be a bar selling locally produced cider, mead and a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Hot drinks and snacks will also be available to be purchased from our shop.

Get ready to be swept away by tales of long-legged beasties and ghastly ghouls…

Cliff’s immersive, spooky stories contain mature content and are therefore suitable for those aged 16+.
