A NEW all-day Halloween celebration blending spooky shopping and high-end cabaret is coming to Stroud this autumn.

Curiosities and Cabaret: The Witching Hour will take over the Lansdown Hall on Saturday, October 31, running from 11am to 10pm.

The event is presented by Emerge Events and Stroud Drag Collective.

During the daytime, visitors can browse a curated alternative market featuring independent artists, gothic makers, alternative fashion, dark décor and mystical curiosities, with an atmosphere inspired by the strange, the beautiful and the macabre.

As night falls, the Lansdown Hall will transform into an intimate cabaret venue showcasing internationally recognised burlesque, aerial and drag performers.

Among the names already confirmed is burlesque artist Kitty Ribbons, burlesque and drag performer Dominus Von Vexo, and Johnny O, a male burlesque artist who performs at venues across the country.

Organisers say a further five artists are still to be revealed in the run-up to Halloween.

Tickets for the cabaret show are on sale now by searching for Stroud Drag Collective on the TicketSource website.
