Ever since the days of Queen Victoria, Christmas has traditionally been the time of year to gather around a blazing fire, turn the lights down low and tell tales of ghosts and hauntings. Award-winning Gothic entertainer Dr Nicolas Grimoire presents a varied selection of traditional festive frighteners to chill the blood. Snowbound spectres, ghastly ghouls and foul phantoms all make their appearance in an unforgettable evening of spooky storytelling.

Arrive at 7pm for mulled wine and mince pies, then take your seats at 7.30pm in the oak-panelled Collectors’ Room in the Mansion House. This event is for adults only.
