A week of fun featuring a large-scale fire show, cabaret, glow-in-the-dark party, non-stop juggling, walks in the woods, saunas, boats on the loch, old friends and new.
Workshops include ball, club and ring juggling, club swinging, pole spinning, poi, fire sculpture, human pyramids, diabolo, stagecraft, yoga and more.
Families are welcome. There will be activities for children and adults involving drama and theatre, clowning, story telling, circle dance, bonfires, woodland sculpture and magical adventures.
Expert tuition is offered and the flexible schedule allows participants to contribute their own workshop expertise. Anything is possible. We've had massage, chi gung, drumming, singing, DJ mixing, fire walking, table football and balloon modelling.
So come to improve your performance and technique or to take it easy in fabulous surroundings and just watch the show.
