We are delighted to be the hosts of Earthkin events and seasonal celebrations.

It is always a night to remember with music and performances to fit the season.

story telling at the earth house

  

In a field on the outskirts of Cranborne village, there is a hill, and it has a door…  

One of Dorset’s best kept secrets, the Earthouse is a 200-seat theatre – lit by lamplight and fire-light. Here audiences sit on wooden benches, under an earth roof, held up by 21 huge oak tree trunks… they come to listen to stories. The Ancient Technology Centre works with the Crick Crack Club to bring some of the finest contemporary performance storytellers to this fabulous off-beat venue – turning it into a cinema of the imagination.   

‘I was spellbound – I don’t use the word lightly’ THE TIMES   

‘the art of storytelling is in the surest, safest hands here’ REMOTE GOAT


For those wishing to book tickets for future storytelling events, we strongly recommend joining the Crick Crack Club's mailing list so you are notified when tickets go on sale. 


Due to the nature of the site there are areas which may prove to be challenging to access during a visit and especially when dark or during periods or wet or inclement weather.  If you have any concerns regarding accessibility please call the centre on 01725 517618.
