DARK TALES AND STRANGE SOUNDS IV

Date & Time
Saturday 2nd November 2024.

Gates will open at 6.00pm for a 7pm start. The event will conclude at 9pm.

Cost
£22.00 per person. The event is unsuitable for children.

Location
The event will occupy a variety of spaces in the Mansion. Main storytelling will be in the upstairs Saloon and there will be other performances taking place in the State Hall and other rooms.

Access is to the First Floor and Cellars is currently via staircases only. Those with mobility impairments interested in attending should contact the Box Office (details below) to assess the suitability of this event before booking a ticket.

Description
Plans for the evening are advancing rapidly, and on the menu are the chilling story, to be told by Copped Hall debutante Minnie Wilkinson, of Mr Carey and how Copped Hall owner John Conyers helped to overcome the effects of his murder, soundscapes of 18th Century country house life, and much more. Once again, you might meet the Housekeeper in person!

Returning for the show will be Sinister Masterplan (Laura Sampson, storyteller, and Sam Enthoven, Thereminist), actor Julia Stallard, and Robin the Fog with his extraordinary live tape-loops. We’re promised The Pipe-Smoker by Martin Armstrong, The Apparition by Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun, and Sandy Walsh will mark her first appearance at Copped Hall with a classic MR James story, first published in 1895. Lost Hearts is a classic paranormal tale written by an author considered to be the originator of the modern-age ghost story.

We’re also promised a new experience: sound artist Karina Townsend will be bringing us strange sounds, live, from the depths of the Winter Garden lily pond, and even possibly from one of the two other nearby ponds!

The Copped Hall bar will be open serving drinks, and a roaring log fire will warm you in the ground floor Servants’ Hall.
