When the sun goes down, the festival gets risky.
The Late Night Cabaret is the no‑holds‑barred, adults‑only spectacle where the best of the fest throw off the gloves and let loose after dark.
Hosted by carnival queen Lizzie Tollemache, this exclusive late-night mash‑up unleashes a rotating line‑up of world‑class mischief‑makers serving up jaw‑dropping circus, razor‑edged burlesque, and wicked comedy that gleefully tramples every boundary.
Forget polite applause, this is a night of grit, glamour, and glorious excess. Expect sweat, sequins, and a touch of trouble in a show built for those who like their entertainment bold, breathtaking, and just a little bit frisky. Limited tickets. No rules. No apologies.

Step into the long house of Odin, where myth meets modernity and the gods fight not for thunder or war — but for your attention. Mere Mortals is a breathtaking fusion of circus and theatre from the creators of Carnival Alley, reimagining ancient legends for a world ruled by screens and distractions.
This is no ordinary spectacle. Here, acrobats become deities, rope and light turn into weapons of power, and every movement pulses with ritual and rebellion. You’ll encounter gods you thought you knew — seductive, flawed, and fiercely human — as they struggle to reclaim the devotion of mortals who’ve long stopped listening.
Visually striking and emotionally charged, Mere Mortals blends physical artistry with immersive storytelling to create a performance that’s both epic and intimate. It’s myth made modern, where strength and vulnerability collide in mid-air.
The call to ritual has been made. The question is — will you answer?
