A Winter Haunt - Shadows of Reading - Battle Library - December 6th and 7th

The Shadows between the Shelves have returned...

Join us on Thursday 5th and Friday 6th December at Battle Library for a spooky Yuletide treat...


A Winter Haunt - Shadows of Reading. 
Battle Library 
Thursday 5th and Friday 6th December at 7pm 
Tickets £5/£4 (concessions).

Tonight Battle Library is awash with Spirits.
Spirits from the past, the present and the spaces between.

Tonight you will take a journey. You will walk the spaces between the shelves, the routes between the worlds of fiction and reality, history and fantasy. You will meet spirits, some pleasant, some melancholic, some joyous, some wise and some utterly malevolent.

Join the Shadows Between the Shelves for a haunting yuletide treat.
