Wandering Tiger presents An Audience with a Ghost Hunter, an immersive after dark theatre experience, from Tuesday 31 October to Saturday 18 November at St Nicholas Priory.

The performance follows fictional ghost hunter Dr Robin Knapman through the chambers and halls of the priory, Exeter’s oldest building.

The audience become active participants in the investigation, in which the building’s mysteries reveal themselves through ghostly whispers, objects moving of their own accord and the appearance of spectral monks.
