The Henfield Haunting

Written by Mark Carey

Performed by Mark Carey & Christopher Saul

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the farmyard…….

In the countryside – no one can hear you scream…….

Why can’t Farmer Giles sleep? Why are the hens making so much noise? What’s that floating around the farmyard? Why do the sheep always stare at you like that? What happens if you don’t wash behind your ears?

Find out the answer to all these important questions and join in the fun as Farmer Giles spends the night being spooked by odd things that go bump in the night!

50mins of interactive creepy Halloween farmyard fun for all the family with plenty of audience participation and silliness for all ages thrown in.

Dare you spend a night on the funny farm?
