Goblin Masquerade this Saturday, and Fables tonight!
Published 7 days ago • 3 min read
Hello story-lovers and goblin friends!
Can't wait to see you all this Saturday, 8th March, for the fourth Goblin Masquerade!!!
And if you're in Aber and fancy an evening of storytelling, our monthly story-circle Fables is on tonight - Wednesday 5th March, at the Bookshop by the Sea, 7 Market Road, - from 6:30 - 8pm - entry by donation.
GOBLINS: We have a marvellous line up for you on Saturday, with free entertainment throughout the market from 1-6pm, a costume competition at 4pm, and gorgeous wares to peruse and purchase. (Bring cash, some traders have card machines but not all.)
And then it's music and dancing and dressing up time! Come hang out at the Goblin Ball, enjoy the music, and dance into the night with Misha and the Kings!
FOOD: In the afternoon we'll have our usual café with tea, coffee, sandwiches, snacks... including gluten-free and vegan options until about 4pm. And in the evening it's Bring Your Own drinks and snacks to the Fairytale Ball so you have what you enjoy :)
The Market will be open with free entry from 1-6pm with storytelling, music, a costume competition, and talks alongside the market itself, followed by a short break to re-organise the space (in which you are welcome to pop along to one of the the local fish and chip shops, pubs, or Borth’s one and only Tandoori restaurant!) Doors will re-open at 7pm, with the evening entertainment starting at 7:30pm (ish).

VENUE ADDRESS:
Borth Community Hall

This is a big metal building, on the flat, NOT up the hill.
By Car; it is just off the main street, the turning is signposted “Laundrette” and sits between the pharmacy and the roundabout by the Nisa. Head down there and you’ll see a big “tin shed” type building… we’ll be inside!
From the South; turn right onto the main road along the seafront, turn right at the signpost for the Laundrette and Uppingham Fields. If you reach the Pharmacy, turn around, you missed the turning.
From the North; Drive along the main road, with the sea on your right. After the pubs, the Acorn Chip shop, and the Pharmacy, you’ll see a left turn just before a row of houses. Turn there. Reached the Nisa? Go back round the roundabout and watch for the turning on your right!
By Train: Nearest station is Borth, walk from the station entrance to the main road and turn left. The turning for the Hall is about ¾ of a mile along on the left, past the pharmacy, signposted for the Laundrette. If you reach Nisa you’ve gone too far.
By Bus: Catch the Bus to Borth from Aberystwyth - check the times on traveline.cymru - and get off at the Nisa. Follow the road around the corner so the sea is on your left and turn right at the sign for the Laundrette.
Please join the Facebook Goblin Circus Community group for last minute announcements and emergency updates on the day.
