Carnifølk Present: Carnival of Fools!

Hear ye, hear ye! Come ye knaves and nobles and gather for the Carnifølk's most holy of days, April Fool's. The King Fool bids you come in and celebrate with him for he seeks to pass his ̶c̶l̶o̶w̶n̶ crown on to a fool in waiting. He begs you don your motley and test your foolishness if ye think ye marbles are lost enough...

Join The Carnifølk for an immersive afternoon blending theatre, audience questing and games, live music and performances, and much more. Could this be your chance to take the Fool's Throne?

Expect:
~ The usual Carnifølk chaos ~
~ Immersive Theatre ~
~ Quests ~
~ Games ~
~ Performances ~
~ Live Music ~
~ And much much more! ~
