WINTER WOOD GROTTO
THE WILD ARRIVES IN ROCHDALE

It’s midwinter

And there is magic in the air

The turning of the seasons

The long nights filled with stars

 

Now is the time for dreaming

For gathering in

For family

For storytelling

For magic

 

From deep in the woods on the North Cliffs of Cornwall

Rogue Otherworld bring some of their storytelling magic to a grotto

In the heart of Rochdale

Here you will find a warm welcome, winter stories for all imaginations and midwinter wonder for all ages.

Presented with support from Touchstones as part of Touchstones Live and created by Cornwall’s award winning immersive and highly visual Rogue Otherworld – Winter Wood is an immersive grotto experience for families and those who seek the winter magic we often forget. 

With a wintry mix of storytelling, immersive theatre, music, and dance, this is a winter grotto experience like no other. 

Taking an older, wilder path, this is a grotto that celebrates the seasons, and extends the invite to anybody who has an ear for stories of old magic and an imagination that dreams of what just might come to be!

Step into the Winter Wood Grotto…

Let the faeries transport you to the heart of the winter wood

Where Old Man Winter will welcome you into the magic of a story,

Catch your wish and weave your imaginations with the wonders of winter.

“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.”

– Old Man Winter

Twice listed in the Guardian Newspaper’s Top 10 Christmas Walks, and winner of multiple Awards, Winter Wood is a unique festive marvel.  The Winter Wood Grotto brings the heart of the Winter Wood to the heart of Rochdale, so join us, gather in our warm tent where a magical story comes to life.
