The Killer Chronicles

General Tickets £20
VIP Tickets £25

For one night only this Halloween, step into the shadows of Nottingham's darkest past.

As the veil between the living and the dead grows thin, join us in our atmospheric candlelit Victorian courtroom for an unforgettable evening of true crime and grisly murders tales.

Within the historic walls of the National Justice Museum, hear the chilling stories of some of the notorious murderers who passed through these very courts and gaol. Through dramatic storytelling, music and song, their crimes, trials and final moments are brought vividly to life in a live theatre performance.

This Halloween, immerse yourself in the dark history of justice, punishment and execution, and experience the spine-chilling stories that still echo through this historic courtroom.
