In the 1840s, the Robinsons held séances in the historic Rokeby home. Join us on Halloween weekend as we introduce you to the spiritualist history at Rokeby. Ticket holders will gather for hot cider and a short introduction to spiritualism before a "spirit" of Rokeby guides them into the historic home to experience a staged reading of séances that took place inside the house, drawn from transcripts in the collection. This participatory dramatization allows you to witness what an actual séance was like for the Robinsons 170 years ago.
