🖤🎭 THANK YOU, BRIGHTON HORRORFEST! 🎭🖤

As the curtain falls and the last scream echoes through The Yellow Book, we want to give a monstrous thank you to everyone who made this year’s festival one to remember!

To our incredible performers you filled our stages with dark magic, laughter, and spine-tingling brilliance.

To our wonderful audiences, thank you for coming, clapping, gasping, and shrieking your way through every show.

To the incredible bar team at The Yellow Book you kept the drinks flowing, the candles burning, and the spirits (of all kinds) high throughout the festival.

And finally, to the entire Horrorfest family, your passion keeps the darkness glowing year after year.

Here’s to another season of screams, dreams, and devilish delight. Until next time, keep your candles lit and your doors slightly ajar…
