Shipping Container Outside the DH Lawrence Pavilion

Suitable for ages 14+  

Warning: Complete darkness and may not be suitable for anyone with claustrophobia.  Not recommended for anyone of a nervous disposition.

We will not prey upon the paranoid, the bereaved, the credulous, the wide-eyed, the weak or the inbred... In return, we ask you to proceed with an open mind. Séance is for entertainment only and we cannot hold the medium responsible for the outcome. 

SÉANCE, the first DARKFIELD shipping container experience, transforms the interior of a 24ft container into a Victorian séance room. Over 20 minutes it explores the psychology of a group of people and asks that they believe, not only in what seems to be happening inside the container but also in what might be conjured up into the room with them. 

SÉANCE is wheelchair accessible, with space for one wheelchair booking per timeslot. Please contact our Box Office on 0115 846 7777 for more information and to book.

*Please note there is no refund if you leave part-way through the experience.
