"Yet, in all this quiet, there was an acute, an acrid consciousness of a restrained hostility very near to us, like a dog on a leash that might be let go at any moment." 

Join Behind the Door Productions for a candlelit performance of 'Ghost Stories by M. R. James', set in the majestic and haunting Banqueting Hall of the 900-year-old Norman Keep.

In this one-man performance, Toby Burchell performs two chilling tales by the finest writer of the ghost story genre, M. R. James. Originally narrated by James himself as an entertainment for friends, these are the perfect traditional ghost stories. 

In 'Whistle and I'll Come to You', a young professor, whilst walking in an English coastal village, stumbles upon a strange whistle. When blown, this sets in motion a chain of unexpected events. 

In 'A Warning to the curious' we follow Paxton, an archaeologist who inadvertently comes upon one of the three holy crowns of East Anglia. What he uncovers leads to something far more sinister...'

• Suitable for over-18s only

• Due to the age and nature of the castle, access to the Banqueting Hall is via steps only. As such, regrettably, this is a non-accessible performance.

• Doors open at 6pm for a 7pm start. The bar will be open before and after the performance.

• Free parking available on site.
