We’re excited to share more details about this unforgettable evening — and we are pleased to announce that the event has now been relocated to the beautiful The Arden Theatre! 🎭✨

🪄 An Evening of Magic, Storytelling, History, Comedy & Thought!

In 1584, Reginald Scot released his ground breaking book, The Discovery of Witchcraft.

The book aimed to expose the truth behind what was believed to be “witchcraft” at the time — even revealing the methods magicians used to create their illusions. Scot hoped his work would prevent innocent people from being tried, imprisoned, and executed for witchcraft.

It did not.

Now, Greg Chapman’s brand-new show explores the gripping history of witch trials from the 15th Century through to the 20th Century — blending magic, storytelling, history, comedy, and thought-provoking insight into a performance that is as entertaining as it is informative.

📅 Date: Friday 19th June 2026
🕢 Time: 7:30 PM
⏳ Running Time: Approximately 2 hours
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Age Suitability: 11+
🪑 Event Type: Seated, Unreserved
🎟 Tickets: £15 General Admission
