If you're going to be around Northumberland or the Scottish Borders this summer and enjoy folktales and legends, stories in the open air, or want to try something new and different, I'd love to see you here! The experience has been described in reviews as "magical", "entrancing" and "wondrous" - and it's very affordable too, with adult tickets at £6 (concessions and family tickets available).

There will also be one or two special evening events on certain nights of the year, with tickets for the Beltane Fireside night already on sale.
