One-man live storytelling show by Edwyrdian Tales in which Matthew Wood brings Victorian and Edwardian ghost stories to life around the hall's Christmas tree.
Ghost Stories for Christmas comes to Brangwyn Hall on Thursday 26 November, a one-man live storytelling show by Edwyrdian Tales. It's written, directed and performed by Matthew Wood, who draws on Edwardian and Victorian ghost stories and weird fiction to bring the haunting tales of Christmastide to life. The show is staged in the room beside the hall's Christmas tree, and it runs for an hour and twenty minutes with no interval.
Edwyrdian Tales started in 2020 when Wood moved his performances from heritage sites like the Tower of London and Whitby Abbey online. Since then he's returned to venues including Hampton Court Palace and the Jersey Museum of Country Life, with nationwide tours in 2024 and 2025. Wood has written and performed immersive theatre across many of Britain's heritage sites and has appeared at literary festivals dedicated to M.R. James and H.P. Lovecraft.
