SUMMARY:Abbey House:  Ghost Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 28th February7pm till Midnight£50 per Ticket\nExperience life in Victorian times as you walk along the cobblestone Victorian street\, complete with recreated shops\, living areas\, a school\, and even a pub. Journey back through the centuries and discover the dark past of Kirkstall Abbey and how King Henry VIII targeted the area to wipe out the monks’ place of worship.\nThe Abbey House Museum is filled with reports of ghostly activity. Unknown figures have been seen walking along the Victorian street\, with strange knocks and footsteps being heard in the shops and back street area. The upper first floor has been known to hear the sound of something being dragged and objects being thrown. The very top floor\, known as the Abbots’ room\, is said to be the place where a lone monk likes to reside\, with shadows\, touch\, and groans being witnessed.

SUMMARY:Abbey House:  Sound Bath - Resonate with Hope
DESCRIPTION:Come and join a beautiful sound bath with Resonate with Hope and experience the magic of inner peace.\nAllow the gongs\, crystal and Tibetan bowls\, rainstick\, koshi chimes and more to take you to a deep meditative state where you can simply ‘just be’.

The sounds work on many levels\, but scientifically they have been shown to help put you into a deep meditative state where the body and can rest and repair.\nEveryone’s experience is different\, so come and see what the sounds can do for you. All you need to bring is a mat\, blanket and pillow and anything else you feel will help you get comfortable.\nPlease do not attend this event if you have seizures that are induced by sound\, or if you are in the first trimester of pregnancy.\n£10pp. Booking essential.
