GATHER YOUR FAVOURITE SOULS
Created by Cornwall’s award-winning, immersive and highly visual Rogue Otherworld, Winter Wood is an adventure for families, friends and wanderers of all ages who seek midwinter magic.
Come and share a wild Cornish winter tradition.
The star-studded crown of Rogue’s seasonal celebrations in Tehidy Woods, Winter Wood is a bewitchment to behold as we pass, full of wonder, from one year into the possibilities of the next.
Step this way… wander into wonder. In the middle of winter, there is old magic in the trees.
Pass through the Woodland Gate and follow the winding path…
Let the faeries of the woodland guide you to the Midwinter Grotto. There will be winter faeries who sing, weave wonder and even dance with fire. And there will be the legendary faerie that is Klump!
Here Old Man Winter will welcome you into the magic of a story, catch your wish and weave your imaginings with the wonders of winter.
A MIDWINTER SHANTY
Rooted in this very woodland, A Midwinter Shanty weaves a spell of Cornish folklore, the old traditions of midwinter and a wild-hearted reimagining of A Christmas Carol — told with music, dance, song, shadow play and winter wonders.
With more magic, theatrical sparkle and a deeper telling, the story stirs in the stars of winter.
Whether you’re returning to Winter Wood or stepping through its gates for the first time, we invite you to gather in the magic of a heart-warming tale.
Some stories are whispered by the season!
THE MAGIC OF BEING TOGETHER
Come together in the wild old wood, embrace the turning seasons and make room for midwinter dreams. Here, the magic is in the story, the woods and the people beside you.
The whole Winter Wood adventure is included in your ticket and includes a sweet treat from Old Man Winter and a free hot chocolate for the children. No extra experiences to buy, no hidden layers of magic to unlock — just one wonderful journey for everyone.
Festive food and drinks are available to buy if you fancy a treat.
Just come as you are, wrap up warm and bring your imagination.
“My excitement for Winter Wood just grows and grows, to gather together, to celebrate nature, and to embrace the seasons, the turning of the planets and our midwinter dreams fills me with wonder.”
Old Man Winter

WINTER WOOD IS FOR ALL AGES
And we mean it.
Whoever said you have to be young to experience magic?
Winter Wood is a celebration of everything that fills midwinter with wonder. A world of folklore, music, storytelling, firelight, the wild beauty of nature and an awareness of our journey through the stars, woven together into an experience to be enjoyed at every age.
Our stories are full of laughter, wild imagination, heart and humanity. There is wonder for young ones, and depths of meaning and old magic for those who have lived a little longer. (Maybe magic even deepens with age)?
Come with your children, your grown-up children, your friends, your favourite person, or simply bring yourself.
Whether you’re eight or eighty, there is an ember of midwinter magic waiting for you in the woods.
Accept winter’s invitation, dress warmly, follow the woodland path and discover the wonders of Winter Wood.
A warm welcome awaits in our heated Midwinter Grotto.
