Events Description
Before Dracula, there was Carmilla.
Join us in the parlour for a candlelit reading of an abridged version of Carmilla, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s haunting 1872 tale of a lonely young woman, a secluded castle, and a beautiful stranger whose arrival brings with it a series of unsettling events.
Experience this classic gothic tale as it was meant to be heard: by candlelight, surrounded by the atmosphere of a Victorian home.
Before the reading begins guests will enjoy the opportunity to explore the house after dark. During intermission enjoy a specialty themed cocktail/mocktail along with a selection of charcuterie.
