Underneath The Stars
Book now

Together with discovering the best folk, roots and acoustic music together, Underneath The Stars offers an abundance of opportunities to stretch body and mind by getting stuck into some creative pursuits.

Chill out with thai chi or learn new talents and crafts with Panic Circus, dry stone walling, mosaic art, rag rugging and dedicated Crafty Kids workshops.

Budding performing artists can try their hand at ukelele, percussion, swing dance, harmony singing, clog dancing or Rhythm n Rhyme song time too.

Emergent storytellers will not want to miss Walk The Lines with author and illustrator Mark Fraser – discover how books are created and brought to life with some mesmerising storytelling and shadow puppetry from Tell a Vision.

We are feeling more talented already.
