The Ghost House

The Ghost House

Once every hundred years, the Ghost House reappears…and today you have the chance to visit. With the help of famous Ghost Hunter Lady Helena Hope, with her supernatural skills and your courage, you will discover the truth behind the legend of the man who once lived there – Black Hearted Benjamin, highwayman and now, GHOST.

Journey into a shadowy world of shipwrecks and sword fights, through the thin veil that separates our world from the world we call, ‘the past’. Secrets emerge and things definitely go bump in the night in this seriously spooky story for audiences aged 8+.

The Ghost House is a walk-through theatre experience in a custom built, multi-space set, featuring live performances, magic, digital technology and dance.

The Ghost House is kindly supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Belfast City Council.

Reviews

‘A cast of brilliant performers brings the story to life over 4 distinct sets, with excellent use of music and special effects, all used to give a very immersive experience.’ Pastie Bap

‘The use of dance to tell the story is to be applauded, introducing fresh, young audiences to a range of styles of theatre in a friendly, unrarefied and untraditional venue.’ Alan in Belfast
