Artsweek’s 2025 Festival presents the Hollow Woods Recorder Consort’s “Solace for the Spirit” tour's second stop on Friday, October 3rd at 5:30pm. This free after-work event is the perfect opportunity for a picnic supper on the grass to celebrate the coming ‘spooky’ season.
Solace for the Spirit is an outdoor tour of haunted spaces,
bringing words and music of remembrance to entertain and
comfort both audience members and the spirits who remain.
The second stop on the Solace for the Spirit tour is on Friday, October 3rd at 5:30pm at the historic Peterborough Liftlock, rumoured to be haunted by eight ghosts! The Hollow Woods Recorder Consort will be joined by Parks Canada staff and Liftlock Operator, Nik Missios with some tales of the unusual activity experienced there. Audience members living or dead will enjoy music and stories at the foot of the Liftlock, with an opportunity to sing along using a handout and QR codes.
Free parking is available on the west side of the lock behind the former Liftlock visitor centre. There will be golf cart assistance for those with ambulatory challenges getting between the lot and canal-side.
