Where Curiosity Comes Together
3rd & 4th April 2027, Kelham Hall, Nottinghamshire
A two-day paranormal convention for investigators, researchers, historians, sceptics, believers, creators and curious minds.
We bring people together to explore the unexplained with curiosity, conversation and collaboration. Every perspective is welcome; thoughtful questions matter more than easy answers.
Not every question has an answer.
The Assembly
The Assembly is the heart of our weekend, bringing speakers, panellists and curious minds together in Kelham Hall’s impressive Great Hall. Beneath its soaring domed ceiling, explore the paranormal through talks, open discussion and audience questions. It’s a place to hear different perspectives, challenge ideas respectfully and share your curiosity, whatever your starting point.
Meet, browse, discover
The Curiosity Market brings together a hand-selected mix of unusual makers, authors and paranormal specialists in Kelham Hall’s central courtyard marquee. Browse books, artwork, curiosities and investigation equipment, meet the people behind them and discover something unexpected. It’s a space to explore, ask questions and enjoy a conversation between talks.
An invitation to linger
Included with the Founder’s Invitation The Midnight Banquet is a chance to sit down for dinner alongside our speakers, panellists and fellow guests in Kelham Hall’s Great Hall, it’s a relaxed opportunity to share stories and continue the day’s conversations over a meal before the Midnight Gathering begins.
The Midnight Gathering is our evening celebration in Kelham Hall’s Great Hall. Join fellow guests, speakers and panellists for drinks, music and dancing, or simply relax and enjoy the conversation. It’s a chance to unwind after the day’s talks, make new connections and carry on the evening at your own pace.
A quieter corner
The Alehouse Haunts VIP Bar is a dedicated space for Founder’s Invitation holders in Kelham Hall’s Carriage Court. Bringing a touch of haunted alehouse character to the weekend, it’s somewhere to enjoy a drink, settle into a quieter corner and share stories with fellow guests. A relaxed retreat to continue the conversations sparked throughout the Assembly.

Kelham Hall
Kelham Hall is a sight to behold. With its grand architecture, beautiful grounds and remarkable history, it provides a wonderfully atmospheric setting for a gathering of curious minds. But beyond its ornate windows and magnificent ceilings, there is much more to discover.
The present hall was built in 1863 by renowned architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, following the destruction of two earlier halls by fire. Its history stretches back even further, with a Tudor manor once occupying the site and King Charles I believed to have stayed there in 1647.
From 1903 to 1974, the hall became home to the Society of the Sacred Mission, an Anglican religious order whose legacy includes the impressive domed chapel and a nearby monks' graveyard.
And then, of course, there are the hauntings.
Reports include disembodied footsteps, slamming doors, mysterious voices and children's laughter echoing through empty corridors. Hooded figures, a lady in blue and even a wandering cavalier are said to make occasional appearances.
With such a remarkable history and so many unexplained stories, Kelham Hall offers far more than a beautiful venue.
So, as you enjoy The Midnight Assembly, keep your eyes peeled. You may have more company than you realise…
