Host a Victorian Séance at Your Venue
The lights dim. Candles flicker against stone walls. Thirteen guests gather around a table as the veil between worlds grows thin.
For one extraordinary evening, your venue becomes a gateway to the past - where Victorian spiritualism lives again, where the impossible feels within reach, where guests leave questioning everything they thought they knew.

Why Venues Choose to Host Séances
I've worked with historic hotels, atmospheric pubs, gothic manor houses, and intimate private venues across Scotland. Every host shares the same discovery: a Victorian séance doesn't just fill your calendar - it transforms how people see your space.
Your venue becomes legendary. Guests don't just visit for dinner or drinks anymore. They come for an experience they can't get anywhere else. They bring friends. They return. They tell stories.
It attracts the right clientele. People who book séance experiences aren't looking for cheap entertainment. They're sophisticated guests who value atmosphere, history, and genuine quality. They spend well and appreciate what you've created.
It positions you differently. While other venues compete on price or amenities, you're offering something truly distinctive. Your venue becomes known as a place where extraordinary things happen.
The bookings handle themselves. Once word spreads (and it will), séance evenings sell out within days. Guests actively seek you out rather than you chasing them.
What I Bring to Your Venue
I've studied the authentic practices of Scottish Victorian spiritualists - the rituals they performed when the boundary between worlds felt permeable. What unfolds during our evenings is as faithful to tradition as I can make it.
- Authentic Victorian Practice – Faithful recreations using the actual rituals and tools of Scottish spiritualists from over a century ago.
- Enhances Your Atmosphere – I work with your venue's existing character - its history, its energy, its stories - to create something that feels like it belongs.
- Intimate Circle of Thirteen – Each gathering limited to the traditional number, creating genuine connection and shared experience.
- Builds to True Mystery – Every evening culminates in the dark séance - the moment when we truly test what lies beyond.
How a Séance Evening Unfolds
Each gathering shapes itself around the energy of those present, but the structure remains rooted in Victorian tradition – the spiritualism that flourished in Scotland during the 19th century when the veil between worlds felt closest.
We begin by forming the circle – thirteen souls gathered with intention. I share the history of Victorian spiritualism, the traditions we're honoring, the questions that captivated our ancestors as they sought connection with the unseen.
Then we ease into the evening with psychic games and experiments – lighthearted, interactive moments designed to build atmosphere and attune everyone to the work ahead. There's laughter here, curiosity, a gradual shift in energy as skepticism gives way to openness.
As the evening deepens, we move to the traditional tools of spirit communication: glass-moving, pendulum divination, and other practices through which the Victorians believed they could contact the other side. Each moment draws us further into the experience.
The evening culminates in the dark séance – our most profound moment. Candles extinguished. Darkness complete. We hold hands as a circle and ask the question that has echoed through centuries: "Is there anybody there?"
What happens in that darkness... well, that depends on the night, the circle, and what chooses to answer.
The entire experience typically lasts 3-4 hours, allowing time for genuine immersion and connection.
What Your Venue Needs
I work with the atmosphere you've already created, but certain elements help the experience thrive:
Space for Intimacy
A private room that can accommodate 13-15 people around a table. It doesn't need to be large - in fact, smaller often works better. The key is creating a sense of enclosure, of stepping out of the ordinary world.
The Right Atmosphere
Historic buildings, atmospheric settings, spaces with character and story. The experience works best in venues that already carry a sense of the past - stone walls, low ceilings, original features, that feeling of age.
Darkness Capability
The ability to control lighting completely. The dark séance requires genuine darkness - not just dimness. This is essential.
Acoustic Consideration
A space where sounds from elsewhere (kitchens, bars, other guests) won't intrude. The séance requires focus and immersion.
I handle everything else - all materials, setup, the experience itself. You provide the space and help spread the word. Together, we create something extraordinary.

This Isn't for Every Venue
I need to be honest about what works and what doesn't.
If your venue is primarily focused on high-volume, quick-turnover events, this probably isn't the right fit. Séances require time, atmosphere, and the right conditions.
If your space is constantly noisy, brightly lit, or lacking in character, we'll struggle to create the immersion these experiences require. It's not impossible, but you might want to consider a Psychic Party format instead.
But if you have a space with soul, with story, with atmosphere - if you're looking to position your venue as something special rather than just another location - then this could transform how people see what you've built.
The last thing I want is for you to invest in something that won't thrive in your space. These experiences work best when the venue, the atmosphere, and the intention all align. That's when something truly memorable happens.
