Get yourself in a Halloween-ready mood with this treat of an event at Leonardslee this October with an exploration of the spooky sites and sightings that have featured in our county’s history with accompanying traditions with local author and tour guide Kevin Newman.  Kevin, who led Worthing’s ‘Spooky Worthing’ tour for over a decade, and has written a number of article on Sussex’s spookier side will explore terrifying twittens, pub poltergeists and spooky shops of yesteryear in this adults-only event. 

Kevin takes us on a journey of exploration of our county’s spookier side –  in a lively, funny and interactive talk, quiz and Q&A. We will investigate why Yoko Ono terrified churchgoers, find out about Findon’s forgotten Highwayman and find out just how a cup of tea can be terrifying at Leonardslee this Autumn!
