STEP INTO THE LAND BETWEEN WORLDS

JOIN US IN THE OTHERWORLD THIS SUMMER

Tehidy Woods North Cliffs, Cornwall

Part theatre show,

part festival,

part enchanted woodland journey,

The Wild Woodland Summer Dance is a joyful outdoor experience of storytelling, live music, dance, Cornish myth and wild summer magic beneath the trees.

Follow the woodland path into Rogue’s Otherworld, discover a hidden theatre in the heart of the forest, and gather for a fast-paced, beautiful and uplifting adventure inspired by Cornwall’s stories, landscapes and ancient magic.

Then step beyond the story and dance into the celebration.

THIS IS NOT THEATRE AS YOU KNOW IT…

It is a unique immersive woodland experience where stories are lived, music fills the trees, and the path weaves with the magic of a wild and ancient landscape.

A ROGUE OTHERWORLD SUMMER TRADITION

For over fifteen years, Rogue Otherworld has transformed Tehidy Woods North Cliffs into a living landscape of myth, magic and imagination.

Across the turning of the year, thousands of people have stepped through the trees and into the Otherworld for Winter Wood, Wild Awake, Dead of Night Dance and countless seasonal adventures.

This summer, the story continues in the Mythic Woods of Tehidy, where the trees meet the sea and Cornwall’s wild heart begins to dance.

THIS YEAR’S SUMMER STORY

The Wild Woodland Summer Dance is a celebration of Cornwall’s wild heart.

Journey through the Mythic Woods of Tehidy, where ancient stories linger beneath the trees and hidden magic waits in the landscape itself.

This summer, Rogue Otherworld invites you into a living world of folklore, wonder and remembrance. A place where sea and woodland meet. Where old songs still echo through the stones. Where forgotten stories stir beneath Atlantic skies.

Follow winding woodland paths as story, music and myth unfold around you. Discover a Cornwall shaped by tides, stars, fire, language and legend

A LAND BETWEEN WORLDS

Rich with mystery, imagination and deep-rooted belonging.

This is an invitation to step beyond the ordinary.

To walk the old paths.

To remember the magic hidden in the everyday world.

Where landscape becomes story.

Where story becomes magic.

And where magic becomes celebration.

This summer, gather your family, your friends and your wild heart, and step into a story world beneath the trees.

YOU ARE INVITED

Created for adventurous spirits of every generation.

For children discovering wonder.

For adults who occasionally pause to marvel at the world around them.

For grandparents, dreamers, explorers, nature lovers and holiday adventurers.

For anyone who has ever stood beside the ocean, wandered beneath ancient trees, and felt that there might be something more waiting there.

Gather beneath the trees for an unforgettable summer celebration of theatre, music, storytelling and dance in the heart of Tehidy.

A JOYFUL SUMMER CELEBRATION

Where story leads to magic, and magic leads to celebration.

The adventure culminates in a joyful gathering beneath the trees, where music rises, the Cornish Fae return, and everyone is invited to join the dance with the Wild King of the Moon and the spirits of the Otherworld.

The forest becomes the dance floor.  The woodland transforms into a joyful celebration of music, dancing myth and magic that invites you to join in (or watch)!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Arrival

Arrive at Tehidy Woods North Cliffs and follow the signs to Rogue’s free event parking.

Please arrive around 15 minutes before your start time, but no more than 30 minutes before, to help us keep the car park flowing.

A Rogue faerie host will meet you at the edge of the woods and guide you into the beginning of your adventure.

The woodland journey

Follow the path through the trees as the story world weaves its magic around you.

The route leads into the heart of the woods, where Rogue’s hidden woodland theatre waits beneath the canopy.

The performance

Gather on hay bales or chairs for a live outdoor performance filled with storytelling, music, movement, dance, humour, beauty and Cornish magic.

(You don’t need to bring your own chair unless you’d like to).

The main performance area is covered by our stretch canvas canopy, so the show can go ahead in all the wonders of the Cornish weather.

Food, drink and atmosphere

Enjoy affordable woodland refreshments from The Witch’s Kitchen, a drink from the bar, and Rogue’s famous wild woodland vegetable stew cooked in a cauldron on the fire.

There will be time to enjoy the atmosphere before and after the show.

The celebration

At the end of the adventure, music rises and the woods come alive in a joyful summer celebration.

Dance if you want to.

Watch if you prefer.

Everyone is welcome. 

Free face painting

Free face painting is included — a little extra sparkle for the journey.
