Enter if you dare! Flickering candles and ghostly tales with a few surprises. Visitors to Barley Hall will be invited to assist a medievalist in solving a dark riddle from the past. But beware - dabbling with a grimoire on Halloween can only lead to trouble...!
'Medieval Mysteries' will include original drama commissioned especially for this evening, including a piece inspired by M R James, arguably the greatest author of ghost stories in the English language.
