"I can call spirits from the vasty deep. / Why, so can I, or so can any man; But will they come when you do call for them?" - Henry IV
The spooky season may be over everywhere else, but not here! We are delighted to announce that Spectre Detectors are going to be at The Shakespeare inviting you to Investigate the Spirits of the Shakespeare Tavern!!
From 6pm on Monday 11th January you can join them and they guarantee that the events are always fun and people can get involved as little or as much as they like. They have been investigating for over 16 years, have been featured on TV, radio, podcasts, in magazines both in the UK and in USA and have written many books, including one about the Shakespeare! They investigate using the latest technology including infrared recording equipment, thermal imaging cameras, full spectrum camera, rem pods, emf detectors and motion sensors. They also use traditional methods including dowsing rods, pendulums, table tipping, mirror scrying and victorian seance. They will also do spirit photography. They dont use oujia boards or provoke in any way and also have £5m public liability insurance.
For £30.00 you can experience all of this! Tickets will be available from the pub on an extremely limited basis as these events are for groups up to 12 maximum! You are not allowed to arrive intoxicated or drink during the event, the pub will also be closed to customers from 5pm on that day. Tickets must be purchased in advance.
