DEAD ARTISTS: A Samhain Celebration this Halloween

Samhain is an ancient Celtic festival that welcomes in the darker half of the year. Join us as we celebrate the spookier months.

Tickets are £12 + Eventbrite fees and include a welcome cocktail, exclusive halloween entertainment from Operotica and a bloody good time.

THIS IS A THEMED EVENT - Guests are asked to come as their favourite DEAD ARTIST. This can be interpreted however you like - Boris Karlof, Mia Goth in the year 2145, Basil Hallward and his picture of Dorian Grey, Chopin, the possibilities are endless my dears!

There will be a prize for best costume 👹👺

This event is also doubling as the soft launch for HAGS Fest, a new genre festival platforming the work of female and non-binary artists in the horror/ fantastic sphere.

Note on our chosen charity

As we will also be introducing HAGS FEST, we have chosen for attendees to have the option to donate to FrogLife when buying tickets.

They are doing incredibly important work in protecting these amazing animals and the ecosystems they are part of.
