Welcome to Bombay Manor - an ominously haunted
house in Henley Street where Dr Thaddeus Bombay, one of history's most colourful characters, awaits your arrival and just
maybe will introduce you to some of his dearly departed friends and relatives.
Don't worry - too much!
While Bombay Manor contains some mildly frightening subject matter there is no gore and no-one jumps out at you; the ghostly
residents are, for the most part, friendly and the genuinely spooky experience is appropriate for all ages.

Once you enter the mysteriously magical and well maintained Grand Emporium
on the ground floor, you find yourself in a building that is over 450 years old and where anything can, and frequently does,
happen....
If you stroll past the reception desk you can choose to walk on to the Victorian Tea Garden, Wand
Shop and Apothecary where the air cools and the scent of magic is palpable in the air....

.... or, you could choose to purchase a ticket and to climb the creaky
winding staircase and begin your spookily supernatural journey through the upper floors of this undoubtedly haunted building.

From the Great Hall with the Mirror of Eris
Edse Voleurt and Bombay Manor's very own "Sorting Chair" and the True and terrifying Wizarding Timeline of events
to the eerie windowless Chapter Room and England's oldest OuiJa board (nearly five foot in diameter!).
What
follows has to be seen to be believed, but suffice to say it's good spooky fun and is an experience that you're sure
to remember as long as you live...... and maybe a little longer......

"Steeped in history and home to the eccentric and deeply troubled Bombay family who were cursed
many centuries ago. A warren of rooms, filled with interesting exhibits and offering a fascinating glimpse into the private
lives of one of the country's most eccentric families."

Through the Haunted
Portrait Gallery and past the Deathbed of Canon Ezekiel Bombay to the Hall of Mirrors, the Victorian Spirit Cabinet and the
Haunted Nursery. Then, if you're feeling brave enough it's on to the Graveyard, past the Pumpkin Father and
the Last Mermaid before coming to the History of Puppetry in England and the Haunted Puppet Theatre of Jedediah Bombay.
