SHOW DESCRIPTION
‘The Magic Cavern’ – the perfect place for a magic show to celebrate Hallowe’en.
Here at the Magic Theatre, we LOVE this time of the year, we wish it was Hallowe’en all the year round. But for a few days only each October Half Term chains rattle as a ghostly hand unlocks a section of our cave like theatre and start the Hallowe’en celebrations big style.
Families and friends gather in the dimly lit, creaky and kooky magic theatre to tell ‘Ghost Stories’. Your storyteller and host is magician Richard Leigh.
It’s the usual ‘Magic Cavern’ show but with extra traditional Hallowe’en party games played, all with a magical twist including apple bobbing without getting wet.
Tricks and Treats galore.
Bring a good pair of lungs to scream and be amazed.
For those who are really brave enough to play the magical game of TRICK OR TREAT and risk the forfeit of doom, then please let the ghostly theatre manager know when you arrive.
‘Scream if you want to go faster. Welcome to the fun fear’
Arrive in Fancy Dress Costumes and with your face painted is encouraged.
This show is ideally aimed at the entire family over 7 years of age.
Each show is one hour and fifteen minutes without an interval. Doors open 15 minutes before each performance.

A wonderful show, Richard Leigh is unbelievabley good. So clever, the teenagers loved it! We will be back. Venue is great too, a lovely pub upstairs and the hidden gem of a theatre below. Go, you wonâ€TMt regret it!

Superb outing with friend’s kids (8 and 10) and one hour and a half went so quickly as kids’ participation as well as adults added to the value of proactive matine performace and the kids and I enjoyed it immensely, and they couldn’t believe when I told them it lasted almost 1 hr and a half – time went so quickly and enjoyable too – we concluded. It was the first time I went to this theatre and no doubt will repeat the visit. Many thanks for the outstanding entertainment 10/10!

My 12 year old grandsons give this show 5 stars. “One of the best shows I’ve ever seen”. The show is very interactive and had many tricks that kept everyone (even the adults) wondering. As the theatre is very small everyone had a chance to participate in the action. Great fun for all the kids.

A great show, enjoyed equally by me and my daughter (7). As the title says – it’s spooky rather than scary – so safe for ages. The tricks will baffle the young and old alike and there’s just the right amount of audience participation. Another lovely show in this tiny by atmospheric venue.
Nathan and Lucy Williams. 5 stars
