Rogue Theatre: Wild Awake
Spring Event Dates TBC
Tehidy Woods
A weaving of Cornwall’s ancient (but not forgotten) wild magick and brilliant new stories; Wild Awake weaves theatre, dance, live music and the beauty of nature to welcome audiences into a brilliant immersive experience.
The show is for all ages and all souls who delight in the awakening of spring.
The story weaves along the woodland path and comes to life as a show in our amazing big top tent in a woodland clearing, where a cauldron bubbles nearby on the fire (full of the magic of Rogue’s Wild Woodland (vegetable) stew).
Following Winter Wood which crowns the end of each year, Wild Awake is the first of Rogue’s seasonal shows in Tehidy Woods with an adventure of wild imaginings and a spellbinding tale from nature’s dreams.

Cook up a Roast
(Using The St.Ives Co’s range of delicious seasonings!)
One of the highlights of Easter weekend for me is definitely the culinary experience! There's nothing quite like preparing a hearty roast for the family and immersing myself in the joy of cooking. And when it comes to perfecting those roast potatoes, there's no substitute for the exquisite Roast Potato Seasoning from @thestivesco. Crafted by the skilled chefs at Porthminster Kitchen, this seasoning is bursting with flavor, guaranteeing those potatoes come out irresistibly crispy! Don't forget to also grab the Roast Chicken Seasoning—it's a game-changer for your poultry dishes. Trust me, you won't want to cook without it!
