Join Edwyrdian Tales at Hellens Manor this festive season for an evening of haunting dark delights set during Christmastide.
This year our night of seasonal spirits includes terrors from classic authors of the age…MR James and Marjorie Bowen.
In ‘Number 13’, a traveller discovers that his hotel room is not quite all that it seems and that the Number 13 is indeed unlucky for some… In ‘Kecksies’, two ill-mannered young Lords impose on the hospitality of a tenant accused of witchcraft, only to find that candles are lit for a funeral in the house. When they decide to play a cruel prank on those coming to pay their respects to the dead, no one will escape the consequences untouched.… And finally in ‘Oh Whistle and I’ll Come to you my Lad’, a storm is whistled up along a bleak stretch of coastline, and a question howls upon the wind ‘Who is this who is coming…’
A one-man performance, directed and haunted by Matthew Wood.
Drinks will be available from the Haywain prior to the event.
(Please note this performance is not suitable for children under 10 years of age.)
Tickets: £15 (adult) / £12 (child aged 10 – 16) – available via the Hellens website
