Experience the enchanting sounds of Trea, a grassroots contemporary folk band hailing from Falmouth's vibrant folk scene.

Joining them is the talented Mike Hindle, who will share some of his own songs and poetry.
This intimate evening will take place in a cozy apple barn illuminated by flickering candles and a warm fire. The bar will be stocked with hot spiced apple cider, beer, and our new fizzy apple juice. Indulge in delicious cake as you immerse yourself in the soulful sounds of Trea and Mike Hindle.

Chyan Apple Tree Sangha
We meet monthly on a Sunday morning in Chyan Apple Barn.
Suggested donation £5
We generally begin with a period of sitting meditation, sometimes
silent and sometimes guided. If you use a meditation cushion or stool,
please bring this with you. You may also want to bring a yoga mat,
shawl or blanket.
Sitting practice is followed by a period of silent walking meditation
or movement practice. This is either inside or outside depending on the
weather.
Another shorter period of silent sitting follows. We will then share a
reading or an audio recording of dharma teaching or explore an exercise
ourselves, and read the five mindfulness trainings aloud, together.
We end with a period of ‘Dharma sharing’ where we share from the heart, and practise deep listening.
Sangha is rooted in the teachings of the Buddha and we welcome people
from any, or no, faith background. Whatever our beliefs we come
together in the spirit of compassion and a desire to live fully and
completely in every moment of our lives.

Talisman
Talisman - by Angel Heart Theatre
TALISMAN
In the concrete courtyard of a crumbling Soviet tower block, an old woman sits with her memories.
A young woman stands before an endless, shadowed forest. She carries her talisman, her mother’s gift from years ago. Behind her, the world is burning. Ahead, she risks darkness, hunger and death.
But at the boundary between worlds, there is wisdom to be found – or bargained for.
Talisman is a theatre show set in the forests of Western Russia during the German invasion of 1941-2. It is a weaving of traditional Slavic wonder tales with historical narrative, raising questions of morality, resilience and the nature of Home. At the heart of the show, the wisdom of Baba Yaga invites us to look at the choices we might make, when all good choices are gone.
Using puppetry, light and shadow, music and storytelling, Talisman is an evocative and visceral piece of theatre by three highly skilled artists, based in the South West.
“I loved the familiarity of the characters, blended into a new form. Imaginative puppetry and evocative live music. The story fits so well into a war setting. Felt very relevant for today/these times. Brilliant!”
“You took me far, far away, into Russia, and the unknown realm – into the “beyond”. A challenging experience to be in the real world of war, rather than the world of symbolism and metaphor. I felt it was dangerous territory mixing the two worlds and yet I went with you and feel moved and inspired by the courage and insights in this piece.”
Suitable for ages 12+
Content warning: some visual and verbal references to wartime brutality.
FailFailFailFailWin!
presented in conjunction with Carn to Cove
A family comic theatre and circus show. For humans.
Mark and Loz are circus performers. But circus is REALLY hard.
FailFailFailFailWin! is a show about not hiding all the "try"s you did that didn't work.
Uplifting, nurturing and agelessly relevant. Join the adventure and explore what happens inside Loz's brain when she does a big FAIL.
Meet a cast of puppet friends: professor Steven Chimpington - scientist, raconteur, critic; and Colin the Crab, anarchist, physical theatre practitioner (LeCoq trained), oh and of course Sven Svenstoferson, Swedish Astronaut and CBT coach.
Featuring such fails and possibly wins in the mediums of diabolo, juggling, hulahoop, and an attempt to spin 8 real VERDAGEN ikea plates, retail value £2 each. Total economic jeopardy = £16. Plus shipping.
Age guide: great for 3-10 year olds. Unsuitable for 15 year olds. And we're strict on that.
Quotes:
"Good"
- 6 year old we assume was called Barney, or possibly Jake.
Scarlet Pimpernel
Ha Um Ah Theatre Company
Marguerite Blakeney thought she’d married a fool. Sir Percy is vain, shallow, and more concerned with his wardrobe than his wife. What she doesn’t know is that his ridiculous foppishness is a disguise — because Percy is secretly the Scarlet Pimpernel, England’s most daring hero, rescuing aristocrats from the guillotine. And worse still, Marguerite has unknowingly betrayed him to his greatest enemy, the ruthless Chauvelin, the Republic’s finest bloodhound.
In this fast, funny three-actor retelling, romance and revolution collide in a whirlwind of disguises, daring rescues, marital misunderstandings, and gloriously silly comedy. Will Marguerite save her brother without destroying her marriage? Can Percy outwit Chauvelin and keep his secret safe? And how much of the budget has been spent on a ridiculous amount of wigs?

MAYJUNE and EDNA- Campervan Tour
Nomadically moving between London, Cornwall and Brazil, Edna’s music is folky, meditative and soulful. She finger-picks the guitar and repetition makes for trance-like states whilst she sings about everything that makes her feel deeply - love, loss, nature, pain, joy, the universe. The music has a nostalgic and philosophical undercurrent that might leave you pondering.
MAYJUNE is an alternative folk singer songwriter hailing from southeast London. She writes reflective whimsical ballads about the failings of society and lines her music with glimmers of humour & wit through winding melody. She is set to release her second EP ‘Bon Bons’ late October.
Starting at 7pm in the Apple Barn
The Bar and venue will be open from 6:30pm

Clowning for Wellbeing
Step into a space where laughter, play, and connection take centre stage. This workshop uses the art of clowning — along with comedy, games, and gentle performance techniques — as a fun and powerful way to support mental health and wellbeing.
You don’t need any experience in theatre or comedy to join in. Clowning is all about embracing your natural playfulness, finding joy in the moment, and learning to see mistakes as opportunities. Through interactive games and group activities, you’ll discover tools to release stress, build confidence, and connect with others in a light-hearted, supportive environment.
Whether you’re looking for a creative outlet, a boost to your mood, or simply a chance to step away from the everyday and enjoy some silliness, this class is for you. By the end, you’ll feel refreshed, uplifted, and reminded of how good it feels to laugh.
Come as you are — and leave with a lighter heart.

Swamp Circus is delighted to announce its Rakker Storytelling Festival, a celebration of circus arts, puppetry, and storytelling, taking place at the Chyan Cultural Centre on the 20th September 2025.
This family-friendly festival will bring together performers, puppeteers, and storytellers in an exciting programme of workshops, stories, and world-class shows.

• 12:00pm – Café Open
• 1:00pm – Circus Workshop
• 2:00pm – Swamp Story Time
• 3:00pm – Guest Performance:
THE MISADVENTURES OF THOR
THOR! Tall…brave…strong…but none too bright. Sometimes his days are not always full of heroic thunder, but instead are filled with hapless blunder!
Like the day he was almost married to an oafish giant. Or when he thought he was shortchanged as the golden presents were handed out. And then there was the time he had to be rescued by his own son, Magni, who was only three days old!
These ancient Nordic tales are brought to you by Ulf and Odd, two skalds, or storytellers, in a comedic romp through the life and times of the Viking gods.
Rattlebox and Angel Heart Theatre present this family show with their usual flair for skilfully blending puppetry, storytelling and larger-than-life characters into a performance full of wonder and delight! SKOL!
“What an incredible show for myself and my two kids. Thoroughly engaging, exciting, funny, and educational, with Viking 'factoids' scattered throughout. Absolutely gorgeous hand carved puppets. The set created such and inviting scene too, we all gathered around in anticipation. We loved being able to come up and meet the puppets and puppeteers afterwards. Just brilliant!” - audience member at Green Scythe Fair
Tickets: Available via Ticket Source.
• Full Day: £16
• Show Only: £10
• Concessions Available
The Swamp Circus Storytelling Festival promises a weekend of laughter, wonder, and circus magic for audiences of all ages.

Chyan Apple Tree Sangha
We meet monthly on a Sunday morning in Chyan Apple Barn.
Suggested donation £5
We generally begin with a period of sitting meditation, sometimes
silent and sometimes guided. If you use a meditation cushion or stool,
please bring this with you. You may also want to bring a yoga mat,
shawl or blanket.
Sitting practice is followed by a period of silent walking meditation
or movement practice. This is either inside or outside depending on the
weather.
Another shorter period of silent sitting follows. We will then share a
reading or an audio recording of dharma teaching or explore an exercise
ourselves, and read the five mindfulness trainings aloud, together.
We end with a period of ‘Dharma sharing’ where we share from the heart, and practise deep listening.
Sangha is rooted in the teachings of the Buddha and we welcome people
from any, or no, faith background. Whatever our beliefs we come
together in the spirit of compassion and a desire to live fully and
completely in every moment of our lives.
Chyan Apple Tree Sangha has grown from 4 main roots:
1. Plum Village www.plumvillage.org
2. Gaia House www.gaiahouse.co.uk
3. Tarchin Hearn www.greendharmatreasury.org
4.The Crystal Group www.crystalgroup.co.uk
We would love you to join us in our meditation practice.
