St Petroc's Church Bodmin, Bodmin, PL31 2DTFriday 30th October 2026
For those who stepped into the shadows and those yet to enter, the myths are waking again but not as you remember them.
Step inside St Petroc’s Church for an immersive promenade experience of Bodmin-born myths, spoken word, live shadows and stories cast in moving light. Wearing wireless headsets, audiences will move through the church in timed groups, drawn deeper into a world of suspended paper-cut artwork, atmospheric soundscapes, shifting shadows and a multisensory experience.
This is not storytelling held at arm’s length. It is a world to step inside, coconut and lavender linger in the air, shadows gather and St Petroc’s slowly becomes beautifully otherworldly.
After the first Shadow Lounge, one audience member said: “It sent me to another world.”
This October, that world opens again!
Created by Rob Mennear / GRIT Productions, in collaboration with Matthew Thomason composer, Robbie Gillet spoken word artist, Jess Marlton fine paper-cutting artist, Arlo Anwin animator, Christian Balistrari projection mapper, Meier Williams artist, Paul Joines technician, and live performers Olivia Walton and Hannah Jacobb.
A multi sensory journey rooted in community, place and imagination, Shadow Lounge The Re-Awakening offers a powerful new way to experience storytelling in Cornwall’s beating heart.
Mysterious. Intimate. Unforgettable.

Starting Times:
-5pm
-6:15pm
