NSPCC Scotland is inviting people in Edinburgh to a spooky theatrical evening at the Lyceum Theatre.
The children’s charity has teamed up with the Lyceum to put on a fundraising fright night that will feature spooky tales, strange occurrences and thrilling séances.
The hair-raising event takes place on Friday 3 February 2012 and will raise vital funds for NSPCC Scotland services for vulnerable children and families.
Brave guests will enjoy The Infamous Brothers Davenport, a play that tells the story – inspired by true events – of Willy and Ira Davenport and their séances and dramatic demonstrations. After the play, those daring enough will take part in a Victorian séance led by Sara Wearden of ‘Wearde Paranormal’.
Susie Barron, NSPCC Scotland community fundraising manager said: “The fright night is a theatrical treat that is not for the faint hearted! Both the play and Victorian séance will make for a frightfully fun evening. The setting in the Lyceum Theatre, which is itself rumoured to be haunted, will top off this spooky event.
“Money raised by fright night will go towards NSPCC Scotland services that help some of the most at risk children and families in the country. These include the ChildLine helpline, as well as new services that will help us to address the significant child protection problems facing children in Scotland.”
Fright Night takes place on Friday 3 February 2012 from 7:45pm to midnight. Tickets cost £40 per person and are available by contacting scotlandevents@nspcc.org.uk or calling 0844 892 0212.
A pre-theatre meal at Zucca is also available upon booking for £14.95 per person.
