Terrifying Tarns, Wicked Waters & Loathsome Lakes
Join us at The Swan for a chilling evening of live storytelling inspired by eerie Cumbrian lakes and local legends.
This immersive experience unfolds across candlelit rooms, woodland paths, and riverside settings, as four haunting tales are brought to life:
The Esthwaite Horror
The Faerie Folk of Coniston
The Terror of Yew Tree Tarn
The Severed Hands of Storrs Hall
Expect atmospheric storytelling, haunting music, and moments of audience participation. The experience lasts approximately 90 minutes and includes a spooky drink on arrival.
Wrap up warm and wear sensible shoes — some of the tales take place outdoors.
