An evening of spooky storytelling with Peter Chand at Wightwick Manor for Diwali.

Acclaimed British Punjabi storyteller Peter Chand brings his show The Dark Forest to the Great Parlour at Wightwick Manor, weaving his scariest stories from South Asia and beyond around the themes of light and dark that sit at the heart of Diwali. It's a seated storytelling evening in the historic manor setting rather than a hands-on activity, so it suits older children and adults who enjoy a good ghost story told well. The event runs over two evenings, with the atmospheric Great Parlour providing the backdrop for Chand's tales.
