The iconic Twin Peaks Tepee returns to our Summerfield as the hub for all things theatre, cabaret and comedy.
During the day it will serve as the central base for the Wildhood Takeover, a smörgåsbord of activities and performances for families curated by Scotland’s best family festival. The program features stone carving, clowning, music and mayhem from 11am until 2pm in the afternoon.
After 2pm the space belongs to workshops, theatre pieces and musical events including DJ workshops from EPiKA, Performances from Think Circus and Jukebox Bingo and Wax Lyrical.
Then from 8pm the watershed breaks and the tepees take on their final form – Cabaret Baby! We have takeovers from Gilded Balloon Comedy, Paradise Palms and Queer Theory amongst others followed by a curated selection of essential cabaret acts, culminating in the chaos that is Ded Pigeons Cabaret on Sunday night where we combine the best acts of the festival with outrageous productions by those normally hidden behind the scenes.
PLEASE NOTE: After 8pm the Cabaret is an adults only space, with performances featuring nudity, sexual themes and really terrible, awful language. You have been warned.
