Ghosts of Athelhampton

Friday 3 July 2026
Gardens open at 5.30, music from 7.00
Athelhampton House, Puddletown DT2 7LG

A magical mystery tour!

We return to Athelhampton with new music and new rooms, this time reflecting on the house’s status as one of the UK’s most haunted. Meet the Ape in the Wall, the Hooded Priest and the Grey Lady, and hear their stories through music.

Before the concert, bring a picnic to enjoy in the splendid gardens.  If wet, The Coach House space is available for picnicking – and the bar will be open.

Mobility: A small part of this performance (including the balcony seats) involves stairs. If you have mobility issues, please contact us to discuss how we can facilitate the fullest possible participation.

Tickets: £28 downstairs, £32 balcony, click here.
Ticket numbers strictly limited.
