Ghost Stories for Christmas

Book your place for Victorian Ghost Stories

Date: Friday 19 December, 2025

Time: 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM

Location: Wymering Manor

Ticket Price: £20 - £10

There has been a long tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas; as evenings get darker the long nights would be filled with stories around the fire or by candlelight of the strange things lurking in the darkness outside. We recreate this tradition in the atmospheric surrounding for an evening of candlelit tales of the unexpected.

As you sit surround by history, dimly lit by flickering light you will be immersed in a theatrical experience as dark stories unfold all around you.
