MUSICAL

MYSTICAL

WILD

The Daywalkers Collective is an Actor-Musician theatre company. With members coming from Cornwall, Hong-Kong and the East Midlands, we stumbled upon one another in London and discovered a shared love of folk music and caring for the wilderness.

We have been working on our latest show ‘The Snare & Feral’ for the past two years. We have performed as part of Amplify Theatre Festival at The Nottingham Playhouse, Engine Rooms at Omnibus Theatre in Clapham and will be pitching our show as part of Beam2025 at The Birmingham Hippodrome in May.

We love to share our work with others and host FolkTale events showcasing our original music along with other up-and-coming folk musicians in the industry.
