SURROUNDED BY NATURE ON THE ENGLAND WALES BORDER WE MEET TO DANCE

Samhain - Halloween
28 oct - 1 nov 2026
RESIDENTIAL + non-residential
45 mins from bristol
75mins from Cardiff
optional minibus from bristol
ALONGSIDE dancing indoors we will also be taking our movement and exploration into the nature around us
samhain is a potent marker for these lands
an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of something else, something beyond
at a time when that otherness is said to be closest
by heading deep into the rural nature of the Forest of Dean & river wye valley we will mark this gateway and unearth its transition on our internal landscape
