TO RAVENSKULL MANOR
Since 2021, we have been creating a home haunt in our garden situated in Lime Walk, Chelmsford, Essex. A "home haunt" is basically a haunted house walkthrough also known as a "scare maze" presented by enthusiasts to raise funds for good causes and have a little fun.
We believe we are now the biggest Home Haunt in Essex.
Our story is presented by our cast of volunteers (live actors) over a number of areas that you pass through in small groups. We aim to be family friendly with a few jumps scares and frights, but no excessive gore and no strobe lights.
The whole storyline of Ravenskull Manor is set over 4 chapters currently and each chapter is presented as a display for two years. Between 2021 and 2022 we presented "FOREVER" (which actually sits as chapter 3 in our timeline - can't imagine where we would get such an idea from). For 2023 we presented chapter 4 - "TAINTED" and we will repeat this for the second and final year of this story in 2024. In 2025 we will have a new display "Cursed" which will be the origin story of the manor.
While these two chapters are set in the victorian era, it is done so with a nod to the ethos of "Steampunk" and the writings of some of the great science fiction writers of the day, but strongly influenced by "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. It also helps us ignore small details like the use of electricity LOL...
We do this to raise funds for Farleigh Hospice. To date we have raised in excess of £2,500 with over 1,500 visitors.
Please see "Forever" and "Tainted" for a brief synopsis of the story. Also use the links at the bottom to follow us on Social Media - especially YouTube for videos.
