The Woods Have Begun to Stir

Beyond the veil lies the Briarwood: a realm of dark folklore, ancient magic, and hidden stories. For one night, its paths open, inviting you to step inside. Encounter fae, witches, and spirits as you navigate an immersive evening of quests, performances, music, and intrigue. Your choices will shape your journey through a world where not all is as it seems.

Whether you walk as Thorn, Elder, or Moon, the forest will reveal itself differently to each who enter.

Join a Circle

The forest does not forgive. It remembers.

Here walk the cursed knights, the dark fae of cruel courts, the antlered kings of forgotten hunts, and the witches who wield vengeance like a blade. Whether bound to protect the forest or driven by their own fury, the Thorn Circle answers only to instinct, loyalty, and the ancient laws of survival. To stand among them is to embrace power that is sharp, unyielding, and dangerously alive.

Examples: Maleficent, Cardan, Thranduil, The Darkling

Before there were kingdoms, there was the forest, and it is still watching.

Here dwell the forest oracles, wandering witches, ghostly fae, and beings who remember what the world once was, and what it may yet become. Their power is not loud, but it is deep. It lingers. It knows. To join the Elder Circle is to step into something older than morality, where knowledge is sacred and every truth carries a cost.

Examples: Melisandre, The Suriel, Baba Yaga, The Leshy

Not all magic is meant to be trusted. Some is meant to enchant.

The Moon Circle is the domain of illusion, transformation, and dangerous beauty. They are the dreamers and deceivers, the enchantresses and shapeshifters, the ones who move like silver through shadow and leave uncertainty in their wake. Here gather lunar witches, fae nobles, velvet-cloaked sorcerers, and those who wield glamour as both weapon and art.

Examples: Yennifer of Vengerberg, Hecate, Mother Gothel, Rhysand

Our Venue: The Briar Rose Winery

In the 1970s, Disney artisan Beldon Fields built a whimsical Snow White–style cottage on the estate for his wife, a piece of real world Fantasyland, crafted by the hands that once shaped Disneyland’s own magic. The tiles on the roof of the cottage are from the original Snow White ride at Disneyland.

When you arrive you will be transported to a fairytale world you could only dream about.
