What's on in Foxash Estate

Essex, England

Foxash Estate sits quietly in Essex with enough charm to make you forget you're not actually in London. There are plenty of local parks for a Sunday stroll and community halls that always manage to turn out a decent cuppa while people chat about the weather. Near Here keeps tabs on everything from street fairs to school plays without needing to check a dozen different websites. You'll find your next outing listed right here so you can grab a sandwich and head straight to whatever sounds most sensible this week.

Haunting Nights

Join Haunting Nights on The Witch Finder General Ghost Hunt here in Manningtree! Haunting Nights Bring you closer to the story than ever before of the Essex Witch Trials It has been reported many times that the ghost of Matthew Hopkins, the self-proclaimed Witchfinder General, can been seen, especially on nights of a full moon. The ghostly apparition is seen dressed in 17th century clothing close to Mistley ‘ducking’ Pond and the nearby ‘hopping’ bridge not far from St. Marys Church, Mistley. Other reports claim that the ghost of his first victim, the elderly and crippled Elizabeth Clarke appears on the shores of Seafield Bay. Elizabeth was dragged out of The Red Lion public house by Matthew Hopkins as he loudly accused her of being a witch, following a previous accusation by the local tailor John Rivet. Elizabeth was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. This conviction convinced Hopkins that he was right to accuse her so he proclaimed himself “The Witchfinder General” Join the team as they investigate the hauntings of Matthew Hopkins Witch Finder General. During the night you will have the opportunity to use various methods of ghost hunting to include Victorian seances, Ouija boards, table tipping and glass moving as well as the more up to date methods, Working alongside the Haunting Nights Team we will have you covered for your paranormal experience. To book tickets visit The Haunting Teams website...

Upstairs at The Red Lion (BiGiAM presents) Anna Pancaldi & Dan Raza

Two highly acclaimed singer song writers together for one night only! Anna Pancaldi An enchanting and noteworthy London-based singer-songwriter influenced by the likes of Joni Mitchell and Carole King, proves a rare talent with her wondrous vocals and thought-provoking songbook, offering exquisite musicality that is effortlessly honest, touchingly relatable, and delivered by a performer known for her deeply affecting live performances. Following a series of sold-out London headline shows alongside extensive UK, US, and European tours, Anna has continued to release a string of achingly beautiful songs which showcase the raw depth and unique tones of her voice, most notably with her latest single, “Joe,” which serves as a delicate and heart-wrenching tribute of love for her brother. Dan Raza PLUCKED while still a student to tour with Joan Armatrading, and championed by Neil Young on his ‘Living With War’ website, Dan Raza has spent the first chapter of his career weaving folk troubadour magic around the clubs and halls of the UK and Europe while quietly building a reputation as one of the UK’s best-kept musical secrets. An evening not to be missed, a limited amount of tickets are on sale in the pub or from https://wegottickets.com/event/692892 £18
