COORIE in to the fire, turn up the lamps and don’t, whatever you do, look round if you hear footsteps behind you if you’re at Kailzie Gardens on the night of Friday, October 31 - Hallowe’en!

On that night of the year the veil between the living and the dead, the human and the faery folk disappears and uncanny events are guaranteed – with a little help from Tweed Theatre.

However, don’t be too nervous; Fright Night at Kailzie Gardens will ensure delicious food provided by the superb Kailzie Restaurant catering - hotdogs, cakes, Hallowe’en snacks and drinks – and a variety of spooky and fun entertainment from Tweed Theatre.

Come along for 7.30pm and enjoy the ambience of the courtyard at Kailzie Gardens with crazed poets, chained damsels, vampires, a series of boxes into which we dare you to put your hand, magical shows and a colleague of Burke and Hare’s who might ask, politely, to measure you for a wooden overcoat.

After 8pm, once your food and drink has started to settle, your turn will come to be invited on one of several promenades through the gardens, lasting about 10 to 15 minutes. These provide an opportunity to meet some of creatures of the underworld, witches, lost children, abandoned brides, who can only be seen and heard once a year on the night of Hallowe’en.
