Two new operas and a play in Hull’s most haunted building
5-7 December 2019
Information
Presented
5th – 7th December 2019 at 7pm & 8.30pm in the Conservancy Buildings, off Whitefriargate, Hull.
Bumps in the Night takes the form of a nocturnal guided tour of Hull’s most haunted venue, the Conservancy Buildings off Whitefriargate. This is a promenade production so each audience member is free to experience the events as they choose.
There are 3 scheduled entertainments – two operas and a play, each 12-15 minutes long – but audiences can expect a few other surprises along the way.
Due to the nature of this event, places are limited to 28 people per show and we advise you to wrap up well for the tour.
