Welcome to the quietly sinister world of the ghost story... Take a trip to the hotel where withered hands shoot out of darkened doorways to snatch at passers-by, or listen to the plaintive song of the fallen warriors as it echoes around an empty cemetery...
Pop into the charming antique shops where paintings and doll's houses can suddenly come to life... Or leaf through old books filled with shockingly lifelike pictures of hideous creatures, and locks of hair pasted between the pages...
Walk through rose gardens and yew mazes and catch fleeting glimpses of their nightmarish inhabitants. But if you find buried crowns and broken whistles down on the beach, leave them well alone. They have probably been left there for a very good reason...
The Happiness Patrol returns to the Garrick after causing spines to tingle at the 2009 Lichfield Festival with a brand-new set of supernatural tales. Join us for an intimate evening of gentle chills and pleasing terrors from some acknowledged masters of the macabre.
Not suitable for children under 12.
