Crewe Heritage Centre Vigils - Friday 31st October, Saturdays 1st and 8th November, 9pm to 3am
Advance notice to the Facebook Group before these are pushed on my website and elsewhere! First come, first served, places limited to 12 per vigil, £20 each.
The vigil on Halloween will be for charity, with proceeds going to Crewe Heritage Centre. The other two vigils will be giving 1/4 to Crewe Heritage Centre.
These are exploratory vigils - there is a mysterious older gentleman in the North Box who has been seen on occasion, and on a trial vigil earlier in the year, there were some phenomena in the Travelling Post Office and anomalous bleeping on the EMF reader in the Exhibition Hall...
Please arrive by 8:45pm; secure parking will be available within the premises. Gates unlocked 8:45pm to 9pm.
If you arrive earlier, there is limited parking in a bay outside Crewe Heritage Centre, and further parking for Tesco nextdoor.
Do not leave you car parked in Tesco’s car park during the vigil.
Any transport problems on the night please telephone the mobile number to arrange to be let in if arriving later.
No admittance to anyone under the influence of alcohol or substances. Do not drink alcohol beforehand.
Anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or acting in any way detrimental to health and safety, or detracting from others’ enjoyment of the evening will leave the premises.
No smoking in any of the buildings or trains. There will be regular intervals through the night to facilitate toilet and smoking breaks. Please dispose of cigarette ends safely and tidily.
Walking around in the dark and poor light will either not happen or will be minimised until the lights are switched back on during particular vigil phases.
If you have a health condition or take medication which you know someone else ought to know about, please inform one of your group, or the organiser. Details are kept confidential.
Most of the site is accessible to wheelchairs, though the upper part of the North Box has steep stairs, and the Travelling Post Office and APT have some steps.
No one under 18 years of age on the vigils.
