Welcome to a very special storytelling event for lovers of the supernatural. Over one otherworldly evening, three writers and two performers will present brand new ghost stories made to curdle your blood. The frights aren’t just confined to the stage. Before the show, attendees will have the opportunity to create their own ghost stories, which could be read on the night. Come join us in the shadows to hear stories that will freeze your bones. Are you brave enough?
