Seance: Ghosts of Enfield. A Livestream Experience - online 31st of October
Peter Antoniou writes: I grew up in Enfield, home of one of the most famous
hauntings in the UK. I never knew much about it though until COVID-19
happened, and I ended up quarantined for 7 months in my childhood home.
I've spent all my time learning about it, which led to me discover
something else: it might not have been the only one.
This Halloween, join me in one of the most ambitious things I've ever
attempted: a seance livestreamed on the internet, with participants from
all over the world including you. Tune in, watch, and take part in a
unprecedented experience. |

Richard Jones: Escape 2021 - UK Tour March Dates From the promoters: "Richard Jones was the winner of Britain's Got Talent and is a British Army soldier as well as one of the world’s greatest magicians in The Magic Circle. Having recently had audiences on Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions completely captivated, Richard is extending his sell-out tour of the UK with new dates in 2021. The mesmerising Lance Corporal will confirm exactly what made him the stand out act to win Britain’s top talent show in 2016... And still the only magician to have won the show. After gasps of emotion shown on the ITV programme, much of the audience were reduced to tears when Richard paid tribute to his veteran mentor, Fergus Anckorn – a fellow magician who died last year before his 100th birthday. On his extended tour of Escape, Richard endeavours to break the boundaries of the mind with his ‘magic with meaning’, debuting a further twist on some of his newest, awe-inspiring magic. In heart-warming memory of Fergus, he will be recreating some of his dear friend’s most incredible tricks too - some of which the legendary soldier only ever taught Richard himself."
