Secrets Of The Black Horse

(Over 18s Only)

An immersive evening of dark history, mystery, and the unexplained

Step inside one of Wakefield’s most storied pubs… and uncover what lies beneath its surface.

This is not a walking tour!

This is an intimate, indoor experience inside The Black Horse, where the past is examined up close — and some stories are not easily explained.

🏺 What the night involves

🍷 Stories from within the bar

Gather in the downstairs bar as The Curator reveals a collection of dark, true tales connected to the building—

including deaths, local mysteries, and disturbing accounts of what reportedly occurred upstairs.

🚪 Explore hidden corners

Move through different areas of the pub, including sections not always open to the public (subject to availability), as the space itself becomes part of the storytelling.

📰 Real research & archive material
See newspaper reports, historical records, and documented accounts that bring these stories chillingly to life.

🗝️ The Curator’s Cabinet of Curiosities

View a selection of genuine artefacts and unusual objects from The Curator’s private collection.

You’ll have the opportunity to see them up close and photograph them for yourself.

🎭 Dark & bizarre demonstrations

Throughout the evening, The Curator will perform a series of strange and unsettling demonstrations—

blending psychological illusion, historical practices, and the macabre.

Some moments may not be suitable for the squeamish.

👁️ Ongoing paranormal investigation elements

Rather than a single sit-down session, elements of a paranormal investigation will run throughout the evening.

You’ll see how equipment is used naturally within the environment, including:

• Spirit communication devices
• Environmental monitoring tools
• Audio recording methods

These will be demonstrated and active as the night unfolds, allowing you to observe, question, and experience things as they happen.

❓ Q&A with The Curator

End the evening with an open discussion, where you can ask questions about:

• The stories
• The methods
• Paranormal investigation techniques
• Or anything you experienced during the night
