Tips & Advice

  • Leave children under 10 at home, because the ghost stories are not suitable for them.
  • Park at Avon Street Car Park, which sits directly opposite The Mission Theatre and is about a minute's walk from the door.
  • Come by train or bus if you can, since Bath Spa station and Bath Bus Station are both about a five-minute walk away.
  • Allow about an hour and forty minutes for the evening, which includes a 20-minute interval between stories.
  • Arrive when doors open, half an hour before the performance starts, so you are settled before the first story begins.
