Ghost Stories for Christmas

Live storytelling one man show bringing the haunting ghost stories of Christmastide to life... (Not suitable for children under 10 years) Join Edwyrdian Tales beside the glittering lights of the Christmas Tree for three haunting ghost stories of the season. This year our night of festive spirits features terrors from classic authors of the age… H.R. Wakefield, Algernon Blackwood and an original tale from the pen of our storyteller. In “Lucky’s Grove” a family discover the dangers of bringing in the wrong Christmas Tree for their celebrations. The twinkling fairy lights cannot illuminate the very real darkness they have let loose into their home. In “The Wendigo” a lonely hunting party in far flung pine forests hear the terrible call of the wild. Something walks amongst the towering trees, and upon the wind itself. And in “The Elder Son” a father tries to carve the perfect Christmas gift from a broken tree. A gift he bitterly regrets as soon as it is made. Bone chilling tales to conjure the spirits of Christmas... A one-man performance, directed and haunted by Matthew Wood Getting there – Hitchin Town Hall, Brand St, Hitchin SG5 1JE Brand St is a short walk from the Lairage Multi-Storey Car Park and about a 20min walk from Hitchin Train Station.
