FRIDAYS AND SATURDAY EVENINGS IN OCTOBER AS WELL AS HALLOWEEN NIGHT

Hearthstone’s most acclaimed and popular event is back and more chilling than ever in this new theatrical performance that brings you face-to-face with Victorian serial killers.

Vignettes in each room of the museum bring to life sequential killers - they weren’t called serial killers at the time - and their nefarious deeds. Season Seven features new killers as well as new tellings of a famous killer who has a direct connection to Hearthstone and of the most famous Victorian serial killer of all. Based on the newspaper accounts of the day, the scenes recount murder and mayhem, villains and victims, and the beginnings of our fascination with true crime.

As a special (trick or) treat this year, there will be performances on Halloween, Oct 31.

Please note: While the 60-minute performances are not gory, they are gripping and children under 13 years old are not allowed to attend. Each year the performances sell out quickly. Advanced purchase is strongly advised.
