Book onto the Kings Investigation

Date: 16/01/26 to 17/01/26

Time: 8:00 PM to 2:00 AM

Location: Kings Theatre, Portsmouth

Ticket Price: £43

The Kings Theatre Portsmouth, is a spectacular location and one of the most active locations we have investigated. We are delighted to reopen the Casebook on this remarkable location that we started investigating 20 years ago. Built in 1907 by the famous architect, Frank Matcham, it has entertained thousands for over one hundred years. But the backstage corridors and rooms that run beneath the stage hold dark secrets of those that used to work there. Several deaths have been reported in the building and it seems that their spirits are still there. Who are they… well join us as we re-open the Casebook and see if they return.

Further Information

Join Dark Encounters as we carry out a comprehensive paranormal investigation of the site. You will get to investigate for yourselves; setting up experiments, carrying out the experiments and recording your observations. So whether it is a lone vigil in the haunted dressing rooms, EVP experiments beneath the stage, or Dowsing experiments in the Gods - you will be in the heart of the action. At the beginning of your evening you will have a briefing on ghost hunting techniques and the plan for the evening. Then you will split into smaller groups to carry out the investigation. The teams will be led by experience investigators who will guide you to the correct areas and how to set up the experiments. There will be regular refreshment breaks and then at the end of the evening all teams will have a debriefing as we report the evidence recorded. We will be looking for correlations of phenomena between the groups and previous investigations we have carried out at the location - all recorded in the Casebook of Dark Encounters from the past twenty years.
