“Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die”
Folklore Forevermore is an intimate concert experience starring Katy Ellis of Taylormania, reimagining the haunting beauty of Taylor Swift’s folklore and evermore albums.
Step into a world where stories unfold. In this small, close-knit setting, every song feels like a secret passed between friends, tales of invisible strings, fleeting summer love, and hearts that never quite mend. Through delicate acoustic arrangements and raw, emotive storytelling.
From wistful reflections to quiet confessions, Folklore Forevermore captures the magic of stepping into a place you never knew you needed, where memories shimmer like gold rush and every note feels like it was written just for you.
This is more than a tribute, it’s an evening of shared nostalgia, where you can feel the music “in the trees,” hold onto the moments that matter, and leave knowing that some stories, like these songs, are meant to be cherished forevermore.

There is also Quarry Mount pay and display car park on Lake Road next to The Royalty Cinema as well as a very large car park Braithwaite Fold on the Glebe (a 15 minute walk from the Theatre).
Street parking is also available, but spaces are limited and restricted to 1 hour (except in the evening).
For those with access and mobility needs, the nearest car park Rayrigg Road has blue badge spaces.

Please note this route is steep as we are situated on a hill.
