So get ready to wrap yourselves up in furs (real or fake, your choice) and join us on an adventure as we delve into the distinctively dark nature of Russian fairytale and folklore for our December events.

GET READY TO BE CHILLED TO THE BONE with tales of terrifying characters such as Baba Yagar, those that will not die, houses made of chicken bones, skull lanterns and much more.

We’ve got our special salon at Cass Art on Tues 20th December, tix available now for an alternitive festive treat, plus we’re appearing for 4 consecutive nights at the Bargehouse, Southbank as part of Crick Crack Club’s festival of fairytales for grown ups: ‘Angels Aren’t Just for Christmas’.
