About
Legend has it there are five faery 'races' in Cornwall: the Small Folk, the Piskies, the Knockers, the Brownies and - most mischievous of all - the Spriggans.
Join our hero on a journey through the Cornish landscape as he searches for these elusive creatures - in ancient stone circles, old mine workings, fields, farmland, hedgerows and moors
Meet Skillywidden, the mischievous Pisky, and all of his faery friends!
Watch the dance of the 'beautiful' Faery Queen!
Marvel at the incredible Book Of Nature as it literally comes alive before your eyes!
Hear tales of Tom Trevorrow, Betty Stoggs, Coleman Gray and other strange characters from Cornish folklore!
Learn about bees, bats, birds and badgers, and discover the secrets of the Cornish countryside!
Skillywidden is a celebration of the wildlife and countryside of Cornwall, using Squashbox Theatre's distinctive mix of puppets, songs, storytelling and cabaret, with a strong environmental message. More crazy characters, more silly slapstick, more tall tales and more fantastic facts!
