31st of August 2019.

One of Dorian’s very first gigs. He was booked to perform before the main stage shows at the wonderful pop up Rose Theatre. People eating lovely pies would be harassed by a sunburned man insistent on talking to them about the plague.

After the show he’d jump on that spooky bus and run a night of ghost tours. Oh, to be on the better side of 40 again!

The Deathly Dark Tours are CLOSED on Friday and Saturday evening due to the races. If you turn up for a tour and see THIS HORSE, do not follow her. DO NOT FOLLOW HER.

We'll be back on Sunday with a Deathly By Daylight at 4pm and then an evening packed with Deathly Dark Tours.

Six years ago today we ran the first Deathly Dark Tour in very strange circumstances, with no idea of what it would lead to!

Here we are now with seven tour guides, our very own ticket office and a little mountain of awards.

Thank you to every single person who has watched a DEADstream, joined us for a tour, listened to a podcast and more over those years.
