🕯️ An after-hours literary evening at Strawberry Hill House🏰Join bestselling novelist Essie Fox for a candlelit Strawberry Hill After Dark event celebrating the publication of Catherine: A Retelling of Wuthering Heights ✨

The evening concludes with a book signing, with the option to pre-purchase a signed copy with your ticket.

🏰 Why here? Strawberry Hill House was created by Horace Walpole, author of The Castle of Otranto (1764) — the world’s first Gothic novel. Our After Dark series invites you to experience the house as Walpole intended: atmospheric, theatrical, and alive with stories after nightfall.
