Carnifolk Presents: Carving's Carnival at The Volunteer Tavern
See event details

A event on Tuesday 30th July. The event starts at 19:30.


As we revel in the summer sun, the jams are in full swing. What kind of jams? Conserves, spreads, fruity and sweet and sticky ones, of course! But these mystical jams seem to be causing a musical madness amongst our beloved Carnifølk! Will you join us for hullaballoos and melodic mayhem? Or will you help find the cure for the psychedelic spell that enraptures the gang?

Located just beyond the walls of Brycgstowe, now known as Bristol, The Volunteer Tavern, affectionately referred to as "The Volly," is a mystical haven deep within the heart of the forest. In the wake of a stringent crackdown on vagrants, buskers, and non-conformists under the Conservatorium's new financial regime, The Volly has emerged as a sanctuary—a vibrant cultural melting pot where adventurers, magical beings, and outcasts unite.

Thriving on the communal spirit of its diverse inhabitants, The Volly operates on a forbidden currency known as Niblets, mystical coins valued for the loving energy infused into them by their givers. These coins, strictly prohibited by the Conservatorium, have become the lifeblood of this unconventional establishment.

Emerging from the sacred oak with a mission to spread love and joy, Cousin Carving, an ancient being, seeks to reunite his carnival troupe to protest against oppressive forces and create community in the face of adversity. Will you join him on this extraordinary journey?
