The Phantom Coracle will transform Castell Cilgerran into an immersive, after-dark, arts experience, blending fire, sound, light, and live performance.

This unique event draws inspiration from Victorian photography by Tom Mathias and local folklore from Idris Mathias’s ‘Ghostly Tales of Old Cilgerran’. 

Internationally renowned artists Mark Anderson and Liam Walsh, local folk musician Mari Mathias, Collective Flight Syrcas, and Small World Theatre are collaborating with Think Creatively and Cadw on this cross-disciplinary project. Supported by the Arts Council of Wales.
