A midsummer celebration of dancing, music, and fireside feasting with Black Friday and Women Are Dancing.

Each summer, as the days stretch long and possibility fills the air, we gather for Fire & Folk—our joyful August celebration blending Cornish folklore with warm South African hospitality.

On Saturday 2nd August at The Story of Emily, traditions old and new unite through music, movement, and shared connection. Folk melodies float gently, dancers weave around the maypole, and the inviting aromas of woodsmoke and flame-cooked delights welcome all to join in.

Included in the price of standard admission (free for annual pass holders) – more information and booking on the Story of Emily website
