About this Event

The best place by the festive fireside was always reserved for the storyteller. Join Edwyrdian Tales for an evening of haunting dark delights set during Christmastide, on our second national tour of ghostly tales of dread. This year our night of seasonal spirits features terrors from classic authors of the age… MR James and Marjorie Bowen.

In “Number 13” a traveller discovers that his hotel room is not quite all that it seems and that the Number 13 is indeed unlucky for some… In “Kecksies” two ill-mannered young Lords impose on the hospitality of a tenant accused of witchcraft, only to find that candles are lit for a funeral in the house. When they decide to play a cruel prank on those coming to pay their respects to the dead, no one will escape the consequences untouched.… And finally in “Oh Whistle and I’ll Come to you my Lad” a storm is whistled up along a bleak stretch of coastline, and a question howls upon the wind “Who is this who is coming…”

Bone chilling tales to conjure the spirits of Christmas...
