Cursed, Haunted & Possessed Dolls: An Afternoon of Folklore and Fear
Advertisement
Why do dolls unsettle us so deeply? From supposedly cursed playthings and haunted antiques to tales of possessed figures that refuse to stay still, dolls have long occupied a chilling place in folklore, legend, and popular culture.
Join historian and folklorist Damian for a fascinating exhibition and talk exploring the stories behind some of the most infamous haunted dolls, the beliefs that surround them, and why these seemingly innocent objects continue to inspire fear today.
The afternoon begins with a free special exhibition of unusual dolls and related artefacts, 11.00am to 1.30pm.
Then join us for an exclusive guided tour of the hall, including rarely seen areas that are not normally open to the public, where further stories, mysteries, and local legends will be revealed.
A unique afternoon of folklore, history, superstition, and a touch of the uncanny.
Free exhibition from 11.00am to 1.30pm, tickets only required for tour at 2.00pm
Suitable for adults and older children. Not for the faint-hearted!
