This event has been cancelled

Following the Prime Minister’s statement on 16 March we are temporarily closing to the public and all events, performances and screenings – both inside and outside the building have been cancelled or postponed. We do not yet know how long we will remain closed to the public and so we will take it two weeks at a time to allow us to re-open when the landscape shifts and Government advice enables us to do so. At this moment, we will be closed up to and including 22 July and we will review this weekly.


All ticket holders for affected events will be contacted by our team – these are unprecedented circumstances so please bear with us as we deal with this - please do not ring us, we’ll contact you. Thank you.

A gothic tale to make you shudder and laugh out loud!

Celebrated poet & broadcaster Murray Lachlan Young (Radio 4, Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music poet in residence) stars in this thrilling new family performance perfect for audiences young and old!

When 7-year-old Crispin de Quincy de Faversham Clumps inherits his ancestral home – Raddlesham Mumps, he finds himself with only an ancient butler for company. As Kenilworth begins to tell him about the bizarre and hilarious deaths of his eccentric ancestors, the story takes flight on darkly comic wings.

Mixing storytelling with a brilliant musical score (by Arun Ghosh), oodles of theatricality and a touch of exquisite silliness, this ‘theatrical treat’ is perfect for lovers of Harry Potter, Tim Burton, Lemony Snicket and The Brothers Grimm!
