The Ultimate Halloween Party in the Midlands
28th, 29th & 30th October 2011 7pm - 1am
Many years ago, before there was a working farm, long before there was a Conference Centre here, down by the woods, secluded from the public, there was a small, private hospital. But this was no ordinary hospital.
This was The Asylum. A place for the insane, the crazy, the tragic and the demented. What went on there - nobody knows, but one thing we know for sure, nobody ever came back...
Join us at the Heart of England for the ultimate Halloween party in the Midlands!
Start with a prescription cocktail on the door, tuck into a delectable 3 course carvery, then take a train trip into the haunted woods to visit The Asylum. Can you handle the fear factor?
Dance the night away to the legendary Heart of England disco, with fun and games! There'll be hearses at 1am for survivors.
On 28th, 29th & 30th October 2011, The Asylum reopens its doors and welcomes you in! And remember, it's fancy dress!
Join us for an evening of spectacular interactive entertainment! Exclusive evening and Individual bookings are available.
Tickets - Friday and Saturday - £42.50 per person, Sunday - £35.95 per person
