- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: A Book Club you don’t have to do the reading for.

We will read something unsettling to you…

For enjoyers of eerie tales, curious to know more about the stories that make their skin crawl.  Join Norton’s Narrator Gav Cross and author John Reppion as they delve into the stories behind some of your favourite spine-tingling tales. Whether you’re a seasoned ghost story expert or a newcomer to the realm of creepy fiction, Haunted Book Club welcomes all new members with open (and possibly skeletal) arms. 

Joining the Phantoms at Norton Priory we will be bringing 'The Curfew' by Lucy M. Boston.  This haunted story of open graves and lost bell towers, is widely considered to be inspired by Norton Priory.  Lucy M. Boston, perhaps best known for her 'Green Knowe' series of children's books, lived on the estate before the final demolition of the house. 

Whatever you do. Don’t ring the bell on the way out…

Join in the conversation or sit quietly in the dark. Whatever you choose. Keep glancing over your shoulder…
