Immersive Halloween freak-show spectacular with fire dancers, an animal sideshow and carnival acts at Chester Town Hall.
The Cirque Nocturne Ball takes over Chester Town Hall on Saturday 31 October, a Halloween spectacular that turns the whole building into a carnival of freak-show wonders. It's an immersive night, which means you're not just sitting in a seat watching a stage; you're inside the show.
The evening starts with a spotlight moment with a photographer to mark your arrival, and from there you're invited to explore the entire building. That includes the infamous haunted Courtroom, so if you've ever walked past the Town Hall and wondered what's going on inside, this is your chance to actually go in and wander around. The whole place becomes part of the experience, rather than just the room where the acts happen.
As for what you'll see, the night is called SpellBound and brings together a fair bit of variety. There are fire dancers, animal sideshow curiosities and carnival acts, so it's more of a circus-style lineup than a single performance. The acrobacias, circus numbers and flamenco dancing mentioned in the programme run alongside those freak-show elements, and the whole thing is billed as a night of carnival and freak-show wonders.
