Step into the shadows of Sir John Soane's Museum this Halloween for a night of eerie encounters that will unveil the mysterious and otherworldly side of the Museum's collections. Walk the candlelit halls and discover hidden corners in a haunting atmosphere steeped in history and imagination.
Join us after hours for an exclusive night of immersive Gothic intrigue, complete with atmospheric lighting and live storytelling. Our expert guides will help you to explore the museum spaces, filled with artefacts tied to mortality, and evoke a shadowy underworld, sharing tales of death and the Beyond, from ancient Egyptian gods to the rise of Gothic literature. As autumn days grow shorter and night creeps in, we dare you to explore the lodgings of the resident monk, said to still haunt his parlour, and experience the artistry of the ancient Roman catacombs.

- Tickets are available for arrival at either 6pm, 6:30pm, 7:30pm, or 8pm. The event finishes at 9:15pm. Your confirmation email serves as your ticket.
