Tales of the Grimoire

About

Thrilled to return to Ashton Court Mansion, following their sell-out Penny Dreadful Ghost Stories in 2021, Bristol's Gothic Horror favourites, Red Rope, are bringing you their haunting take on the classic folk tale.

Ancient lore told anew is ready to weave its spell and transport you to worlds that belong to faeries, witches and daemons. Come and listen to two new tales performed in the magnificent hall of Ashton Court Mansion in the spring dusk. Accompanied by an original score of captivating music.

The stories are written by company Co-Founders Rebecca Robson, and award-winning writer Matt Grinter. The soundtrack is composed, created and recorded by Oliver Thomas and Alba Torriset.
Both stories will be performed to you by an actor.

Recommended for 15 years + due to the horror inspired adult content of the folk tales.
Please advise the company and venue if you need disabled access, or have any additional needs.

Tickets
From £12 (+Booking Fee)
