Why let death get in the way of a good conversation? Join us on a dark October evening at London’s Cemetery of All Souls, Kensal Green for a journey into the unknown with a reconstruction of a Victorian séance.


The rapid scientific progress that took place in Victorian times had an eerie parallel in that society’s popular fascination with spiritualism. If science could allow communication with distant America via the newly-laid transatlantic cable, couldn’t it also provide the means for us to speak to the dead? Interest in ghosts, levitation, table-tapping, automatic writing, shadow photography and telepathy flourished; seances were held at dinner parties and clairvoyants and mediums became international celebrities.

Our medium Christopher Howell has had an interest in the paranormal and psychic phenomena from a young age, and is fascinated by mystery. He believes there is a logical explanation for - almost  - everything, but is constantly hoping to be proved wrong. 


A cross between an interactive séance and a psychological theatre experience., this evening will  feature stories of ghosts and nightmares as well as experiments designed to invite the spirits to come out and play.

Both skeptics and believers are welcome to join us, but leave your prejudices at the door and prepare to join hands and to have your mind altered.
      
Tickets £20 including a Victorian Punch and a 20% donation to the Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery.

    This annual pre Christmas theremin concert has become a must see event in my festive calendar. I can think of no better environment for listening to this music than in the candlelit chapel at Guy's hospital . Always memorable and wonderful.

    Lydia Kavina was an absolute professional. Also the pianist was totally amazing. The actual performers exceeded my expectations. I think the organizer can improve on the following : 1. Letting people in on time. A long queue had formed, gone past the start time, the weather was freezing that day. I also heard one of the female staff tell off a woman at the front of the queue, for asking to be let in. She quipped 'patience is a virtue'. Actually very rude. 2. To provide some non alcohol based drink, like water 3. An extremely bright spotlight was positioned right next to Lydia, obviously to illuminate her equipment. Problem is that it was positioned so that it was shining directly into our eyes (left side as you look in). Blinding. Had to close my eyes for most of the performance. There seemed to be quite a few technical issues - e.g. mic not working on and off, sound adjustments throughout, light adjustments. All of that combined to distract the audience from the actual performance
