☠️🎡 ALL THE FUN OF THE FEAR 🎡☠️

This Halloween we’re in the weird position of doing something a bit different at Speedway and bringing an intimate and unique experience to you all because of a strange catalogue of events.

Debbie spent three decades as a tv producer and Mark was an art director and we both worked extensively with Derren Brown on his tv & theatre shows plus have worked with many other magicians. We both like bringing our tv production skills & art direction into the space and events we run here.

Despite being veterans in the magic world and very natural sceptics, we started to notice odd things happening at Speedway since April this year. Items falling off the wall, things definitely being moved around to different places downstairs and just an eerie feeling of people being around us when the place was empty. Debbie stopped being in the building on her own at night.

We started to wonder what we had brought into the building along with our fairground signs and rides. What actually was the history behind these artefacts and what was lying in the shadows behind all these fun things.

We were talking about these weird things going on when something even weirder happened. That night we had a phone call from someone who had an interest in the paranormal who wanted to put on an event at Speedway this Halloween.. we said yes.

Who knows what’s going to happen from here on in but I hope you’ll come along for the ride… of your life
