The Signalman

Presented by Mudlark Creative & Drayton Arms Theatre

Join us for a nerve-tingling festive treat and fear your senses this Christmas as you step into the haunted railway cutting at Clayton signal box.

In our eerie new full-length dramatisation of Dickens’ The Signalman, a chance encounter brings together two people: The Visitor, newly liberated from the drudgery of office life and seeing the world with fresh eyes; and The Signalman, desperate to share his visitations with someone - anyone - who will listen.

Enhanced by glorious surround sound - a first for the Drayton Arms - this is a fresh new telling of this quintessentially classic ghost story that will leave you on edge this December.
