Buckinghamshire Culture presents Fireside STORIES in celebration of Bucks’ outstanding landscapes, spaces and places, a series of outdoor events in three very different locations.

Join us in Buckingham, Downley Common and Wendover Woods for free family-friendly storytelling by the fire. Experience workshops, walks, storytelling and an acrobatic performance with real fire. We are bringing three outdoor performances by circus and theatre artists Nikki & JD and Lost Dog to Bucks, telling a story of monsters inspired by Britain’s oldest epic story, Beowulf.

About Fireside, by Nikki & JD and Lost Dog

This October, 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. The award-winning circus company Nikki & JD in collaboration with Lost Dog create an outdoor show that combines circus, dance, theatre and live music to re-enact the original horror story- the one about the monster, and the monster’s mother, and the dragon and the hero and the severed limbs. Dark, comic and physically dangerous this is a modern re-telling of that ancient epic, Beowulf.
