Fireside (venue change)

Fireside
by Nikki & JD and in collaboration with Lost Dog
presented in Helston by Trevow Helston, South Kerrier Alliance CIC & Carn to Cove
with support from Helston Town Council

THIS EVENT WILL NOW TAKE PLACE INDOORS AT HELSTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE (NORTH SITE)

Gather around the fire and let us remind you of what it was to be afraid of the dark. Don’t build the fire too high, sing too loud or laugh too heartily because he’s out there and he’s hungry.

Award-winning circus company Nikki & JD are bringing their spectacular outdoor show Fireside to Coronation Park, and it’s completely free. This is a modern retelling of Beowulf – that ancient epic your English teacher might have mentioned – but forget dusty old tales. This is dark, comic, physically dangerous, and utterly thrilling.

Over 45 minutes, world-class performers will combine breathtaking circus skills, dance, theatre and live music to bring this legendary story to life. Suitable for all ages, it features acrobatics that’ll make you gasp, moments that’ll make you laugh, and an atmosphere that’ll remind you what it was like to be truly captivated by a story.

“It was fantastic, atmospheric, both tense and funny. The acrobatics were awesome.”
~ audience comment

Whether you’re looking for a brilliant night out with friends, a unique family experience, or something cool and quirky, Fireside delivers.

“Fantastic entertainment, very funny, extremely talented!”
~ audience comment

As darkness descends, arrive at Coronation Park and settle in (bring a chair if you have one, or borrow from us) to a world of monsters and heroes. If the weather turns, we’ll move the whole experience indoors to the Old Cattle Market, so the show goes on whatever happens.

The event is free, but we’re asking everyone to register so we can plan properly and ensure the best experience for all. Those who register will have priority if we need to move indoors due to weather.
