Dark Cornwall is a creative studio and storytelling platform rooted in Cornish folklore, landscape, and lived experience. Through research, film, sculpture, writing, events, and collaboration with artists and makers, we explore the older stories of the land with care and respect, keeping them grounded rather than romanticised.
Alongside this work, we have created one of the most comprehensive maps of the ancient and folkloric sites of the Cornish peninsula, bringing archaeology, legend, and place together in a living resource that you can visit here.
Our motto, Abel Onan, ni a Wra Sevel or As One, We Rise, reflects the belief that folklore, creativity, and community are strongest when they are shared rather than held in isolation.
The gatekeeping of stories is not part of our ethos; we believe knowledge grows through openness, respect, and dialogue. By lifting artists, makers, and storytellers together, we build something more resilient, meaningful, and guided by shared values.
