About

Gather in for a night of strange tales from around the world this Halloween with performance storyteller Oliver Lavery and folk musician Tamsin Quin.

The nights grow longer, and the shadows draw in around us. Halloween. Samhain. The Day of the Dead. This marks the hinge of the year, when the veil between this world and the Otherworld grows thin. From sun-down on October 31st to sun-rise the next day, ghosts, spirits and otherworldly beings can cross over, and wander freely among us.

This is traditionally a time for coming together to remember those that have passed over, for drinking, and, of course, for hearing and telling stories.

So come hunker down under a tent of folklore, while the spirits of the dead wander the streets outside. Expect ghosts and fairies, shape shifting fox-spirits, child snatching river-demons and the bloodthirsty gods of the Mexican underworld.
