You'll stay at the historic Angel Hotel in the heart of Bury St Edmunds for one night on 15 March 2025. Enjoy the sumptuous Copper Room, with a full Suffolk breakfast, where timeless elegance meets contemporary chic. Overlooking the Norman Tower and Abbey Gate, the hotel is ideally situated for exploring the town's many spooky spots including the Abbey RuinsThe Great Churchyard and The Nutshell pub, not to mention there's an abundance of cafes and restaurants to enjoy, complimented by fantastic shopping all within walking distance.

The hotel is also just a short stroll from the historic Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds. The bumper prize also includes two tickets to 'A Tryal of Witches', on 15 March 2025. The play asks what led to one of the most shocking witch trials in British History here in Bury St Edmunds.

To complete this 'chilling' weekend, you will receive admission for two people to Moyse's Hall Museum's Superstition: Strange Wonders and Curiosities' exhibition.Featuring folklore, witchcraft, and beliefs from within the museum' own collection, supported with artefacts from other institutions and private individuals including the ghostly Black Shuck of East Anglia, 17th Century ritualistic artefacts, new ‘witchcraft’ acquisitions and donations, 19th Century oddities, ancient relics, and much more.

The museum is also home to some of the town's most gruesome artefacts; including a book about the Red Barn Murders, bound in the murderer's skin! Mummified cats found some of the town's oldest buildings; a Gibbet Cage, which was found complete with John Nichols' skeleton still inside during the building of Honington Aerodrome in the late 1930s; The Tavern Clock by John Scofield which features a list of executions and wolf skulls found in 1840 by workmen near St James' Church, which is where the Cathedral stands today.
