The show
Forty-four seats. One room. An evening you'll be retelling at breakfast for the rest of the week.
Chamber of Secrets is an evening of magic, music, comedy, illusion and puppetry — with all drinks included. The room is deliberately small: every seat is close to the action, nothing hides behind a big stage, and by the end of the night the audience is part of the show. That's the difference between this and the big-hall shows along the coast — here, you're not lost in the crowd. Come sceptical; that's half the fun.
How the evening runs
19:30 — doors open. Find your seats, first drinks arrive.
20:00 — the show begins. Please be in by then: late entry disturbs the room and may not be possible.
Through the night — drinks keep coming to your seat: beer, wine, sangria and soft drinks are all included.
Around 23:00 — the night winds up. A proper three-hour evening out.
Who you'll meet
Matthew Wright — World Champion of Magic. Magic Circle Close-up Magician of the Year 2008 and International Champion of Close-up Magic 2009. Trained in Theatre Practice at the Central School of Speech and Drama, with a BA in special effects — which explains a lot about what you're about to see.
Alarna — singer, BA (Hons) Performing Arts. She performs in the show and runs the room — if you booked by phone, you've already met her.
Eugene — a mind-reading puppet. We could try to explain Eugene, but he's better met in person.
Who it's for
Adults and families. It is not a children's show — it's a night out that children happen to love being allowed into. Most rooms are a mix of couples, groups of friends and families, and the show plays to all of them at once.
