A hit touring Halloween musical, featuring BBC Folk Artist of the Year Jim Causley and Miranda Sykes from the bands Daphne’s Flight and Show of Hands is coming to Wherwell.

The show, ‘Ghosts, Werewolves and Countyfolk’  will be playing at the Wherwell Home Guard Club on 23rd October on its 30-date Halloween tour.

The show marks the centenary of vicar, the Rev Sabine Baring-Gould, a well-known author of books about werewolves and ghosts. He was also an avid collector of over 2000 folk songs, some of which have become part of the show.  Narrator John Palmer said:

"We're delighted to be coming to Wherwell, the home of Wild Goose studios, where Jim has recorded in the past. We knew of the legend of the mythical creature, the cockatrice and so it seemed a very appropriate venue to bring this spooky Halloween show as part of its big national tour. It's a much smaller venue than many of the others, but we love the fact that the atmosphere will be intimate!"
