The Glittering North
Join us for an unforgettable experience at Raby Castle, Park and Gardens this Autumn for a never-before-seen experience of live music, dance and captivating puppetry which all comes alive after dark.
The Glittering North will be a celebration of the region’s Norse and Viking heritage, weaving together tales of folklore and myth, with live music, dance and captivating puppetry which comes alive after dark.
The event promises to be a carnival of raucous and fun-filled adventures served with copious amounts of hot chocolate and marshmallows, bringing a smile to the faces of young and old alike.
Gather round the table as musicians whirl around you, gasp in awe as stories of bewitchment come to life! Expect incredible puppetry and a trail of mesmerising light art surrounded by performance to enchant and delight.
The energetic performances brought to life by the Cheshire-based theatre company Wild Rumpus will be woven through the grounds of Raby Castle in a light-filled trail of stories and performances that has something for every age group to enjoy – from foot-stomping folk music set within enchanting spaces, to captivating tales of adventure, myths and legends.
Visitors can explore this unique experience at their own pace, getting up close to the characters of The Glittering North as they weave through the immersive gardens and towering heritage buildings.
Sophie Brown, sales and events manager at Raby Estate said: “We wanted to do something very different this autumn following the opening of the wonderful event spaces at Raby Castle. As winter approaches and the nights draw in, The Glittering North launches the most magical of seasons and will appeal to a wide audience who want to press pause for a while and step into another world of folklore, fantasy and enchantment.
“Focusing on art and culture and its connection with nature, The Glittering North is a one-of-a-kind event that has been designed by Wild Rumpus specifically to compliment the incredible new spaces and fascinating history we have here at Raby Castle, with stunning illuminations to enchant and delight.
“There isn’t anywhere else in the North East where amazing puppetry and a trail of mesmerising light art can be enjoyed on this scale and we can’t wait to welcome visitors to this very special event and watch them become captivated and spellbound at the glittering north.”
A truly unique experience for all ages, we would love to see you there.
