Storytelling in the Earthouse
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
New Dates for Next Year
Thank you to the Crick Crack Club for a year of amazing Storytelling. The next Storytelling event will take place in April 2019 but details have not been announced yet. For those wishing to book tickets for future storytelling events I strongly recommend joining the Crick Crack Club's mailing list so you are notified when tickets go on sale.

Touch the Earth - Saturday 1st June 2019 - 7:30pm till 10:30pm
Touch the Earth live in Concert with Guest Andreas Kornevall Ceremonialist and Poet
Dive into an Ancient past where Tribal music, Northern myth and tales of old weave the magical threads into a tapestry of wonder and mystery. As flames from the central hearth dance upon the walls of the Earth House, we settle down in the mother, with earth, stone and wood giving shelter. The Gathering drums call out across the land as sounds blend and hearts beat bringing alive Ancient runic magic dancing in the magic of sound.
ADVANCE TICKETS ONLY £35
Due to the nature of the venue numbers for this concert are limited
Light refreshments for sale during the interval.
Choose either event and book 'Weekend ticket' for discounted both events.
Touch the Earth - Sunday 2nd June 2019 - 10am - 12:30
Ancient High Seat Ceremony brought to you by Andreas Kornevall, with Touch the Earth.
An amazing opportunity to be a part of something special:
"Tis time to sing at the Seat of Thul,
At the well of Urdh to welcome wisdom. . .”
The Sayings of the High One
A closed ceremony of the high seat will be performed on the Sunday, strictly 16+, no children. Led by ceremonialist Andreas Kornevall
The High Seat Ceremony is a powerful ceremony of old Norse Shamanic/Trance tradition where oracular and healing functions are asked to be present. We invite the ancestral Völva (the first Witch) Goddess Freyja to take her high seat in the middle of the room and we invite her in with our music, singing, dancing and prayers. You may ask a question to the Oracle/Goddess, for a blessing, or simply attend in support. We work with each other to create the space for this ancient healing ceremony which has been practiced in pre-Christian Europe from time immemorial - This is the central shamanic ritual within the Northern tradition. Sorry this Ceremony is NOT suitable for children under the age of 16
ADVANCE TICKETS ONLY £35
TICKETS FOR BOTH EVENTS £60
