Past event

This event has now passed.

Gather around the fire and let us remind you of what it was to be afraid of the dark.

The award-winning circus company Nikki & JD in collaboration with Lost Dog have created an outdoor show that combines circus, dance, theatre and live music to re-enact the original horror story.

Dark, comic and physically dangerous this is a modern re-telling of that ancient epic: Beowulf.
