What's On
WATCH OUT !!! THEY'RE BACK!
Things that go... BUMP!
Night tours return to Rippon Lea on Thursday nights in July and August. Join those ghastly Grimwells and creep through the house under the cover of darkness.
Put yourself into the hands of husband and wife caretaker and housekeeper, Ebenezer and Mildred Grimwell and discover Rippon Lea after the daylight and the living have fled. Ebenezer's zealous care and Mildred's ever watchful eye will ensure no harm befalls you. Hear stories of past (and present) residents of the mansion as you creep through with care and candlelight. A pre-tour "snack" and a fortifying beverage will be thrust before you.
Tours run Thursdays at 6.30pm sharp until August 26th.
Tickets for Things that go...BUMP! are
$25 Adults,
$23 Concession
$21 for Trust Members.
The tour is not suitable for children under 15 years. Due to terrain covered, sensible shoes and good mobility are essential.
