THE OLD NICK INVESTIGATION

EVENT DATE: Saturday 30th January 2027

EVENT TIME 9pm-2am (Optional Sleepover Until 9am)
LOCATION: 31 Spring Gardens, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, DN21 2AY, England

Originally built in 1860 as a Victorian police station and magistrates’ court, the Grade II listed building served as the headquarters of the Lincolnshire Constabulary for more than a century.

Its original cells, exercise yards and police area have been preserved with the former courtroom now transformed into a unique theatre. The police force moved out in 1972 with the Magistrates Court still in use until 1976 before being transformed into the theatre it is today.

Visitors and investigators have reported unexplained footsteps, strange voices, shadows, unexplained movements and an overwhelming feeling of being watched. Some claim to have experienced unusual activity around the former cells and courtroom, where the building’s darker history seems to linger.

We will use modern investigation techniques and traditional methods of communication to give you a real, raw paranormal investigation.

No under 18s!
