London Month of the Dead

ALL HALLOWS UNEARTHED An Evening of Folklore and Fear with Brice Stratford Saturday the 11th October 2025 at 7 pm After a torchlit, parade through the cemetery, let award-winning storyteller Brice Stratford take you on a wild and witchy ride, fascinating and unnerving in equal measure, through the twists and turns of Allhallowstide, and the forgotten history of Halloween and the wider Hallowmas season. With ghost stories, ancestor worship, bone fires, otherworld pixies, Pagan belief and archaic, Christian mythology along the way, Stratford shares for the first time the deeper tales and stranger lore that lurk beneath the tricks and treats we know so well, and the ancient flame that keeps the Jack O’Lantern lit. Light the candles, lock the doors, and prepare to be unsettled. Are you sitting comfortably? Then let’s begin. Tickets £15 including a 20% donation toward a host of restoration projects at Kensal Green Cemetery and a Victorian punch.
