From Sold Out Colwyn Bay to Scarborough, The Haunting of Blaine Manor Thunders Coast to Coast and Ever Onward...

The Haunting of Blaine Manor Tour (the tour now started that may never end) had a fabulous Halloween week. We thrilled, chilled and terrified fabulous audiences in Morecambe - The Phenomenal Platform, Port Sunlight - The Glorious Gladstone Theatre, and Colne - The Magnificent Muni Theatre.   Each audience seeming to grow in their intense appreciation of the show, and we've received thunderous applause, whistles and cheers all along the tour from Newcastle to Colne - Colne Muni nearly took the roof off the place!  Morecambe, Port Sunlight and Colne - a huge thank you to every single audience member for making this such a special tour in such a difficult time for theatre and live performance.  

​And now we move onto a Sold Out show in Colwyn Bay, our first trip into Wales where we play the historic Theatr Colwyn - Wales' oldest functioning theatre typing 'Wales oldest operating theatre' gives it a different slant somehow.  But what an audience, it's going to get stormy in Colwyn Bay this Friday Night!

From there we cross the country and coasts to the beautiful and fabulously gothic Scarborough Spa where seats are still available.  

It's too late for tickets for Colwyn Bay as they are sold out (thank you Wales and Theatr Colwyn) but you can still get your tickets Scarborough Spa on th 21st of November - ticket link below:

Catch this Ghost Train, a train that invites you aboard for a journey into the supernatural and the dark and unforgiving pitch black tunnels of the psyche.  


Six people, one night, and a house, seemingly alive, that knows their secrets, their fears - a house with a terrifying history of black magic, madness, tragedy, darkness and death...

But it's not just what awaits them at the notoriously haunted manor, it's the horror that has entered with them.

The Haunting of Blaine Manor Coast to Coast Tour got off to a flying start at Newcastle's magnificent Tyne Theatre and Opera House, an absolutely amazing night in front of a thrilled Newcastle crowd who really enjoyed our first show in almost two years. It was great to be back and Newcastle and that wonderfully appreciative audience really gave the show the welcome back it needed.  What you couldn't escape that night was the sheer joy of an audience experiencing live theatre again, a precious feeling, there's nothing quite like the magic of live theatre and the spells cast between cast and audience were really felt - we had a fantastic time too. Thank you to the fabulous team at Tyne Theatre and Opera House and a huge thank you to the fab Newcastle audience.

It's the Irish in me that likes to tell a good story especially a good ghost story, and that's exactly what this is.  It's going to absolutely rock you.  

I'm not here to spoil the show for you though, I'm not going to tell you what thrilled the audience, what scared the bejaysus out of them, made them laugh and then shocked the hell out of them; what kept them hanging on to every word as much as they were hanging on to the edge of their seats...no, you have to enter the manor to experience that.  The show's good though, don't take my word for it though, check the reviews here:

They're great, they are very much appreciated,  and we're adding to them as the tour makes its way around the UK, more dates will be added as we go. I'm determined to get the show to as many venues as possible - so yes - coming to your town, city or village or a town, city or village near you - watch out for us. 

​Check the trailer below:
And here in one of our older videos, check out what audiences have been saying about the production.  This was recorded on Halloween in 2019, which is why some of the audience look a little...interesting, and certainly getting with that Halloween feel.  

Scarborough is our last date of 2021! 

Scarborough is our last town for the tour for 2021, but there are plenty of dates coming up in 2022 - see further down this update!

​Scarborough Spa, Sunday 21st November

So let us welcome you to Blaine Manor for a night you'll never forget.  And when it all gets too much just hold on to the person in the next seat and just keep telling yourself...

...it's only a play, it's only a play, it's only a play...

Horror is a Place...Blaine Manor

​Theatre is Magic
