The House has been a convent\, a Red Cross hospital and a boarding school…. and has\, of course\, for over 200 years hosted the wildest parties attended by Royalty from all over Europe. Each has made its mark and must have left memories in the very fabric of the building. \nIsland historian and House expert Tim Wander will be your guide on Halloween night\, telling you all about the haunted history of this iconic Island building… escorting you through the labyrinth of corridors and cellars. Only stopping to tell you who once lived there\, and maybe discover if they still do. \nCome with an open mind. Expert nothing\, but be prepared for everything. Tim will tell you how the paranormal pervades every corner of the house\, what the years of professional ghost hunters have seen and how science might offer… just some of the answers. \nLimited tickets. One night only (additional dates maybe added if demand dictates). \nTicket price: £17.50/person \nTickets include a medium sized glass of house wine or a 33cl bottle of premium beer or a hot drink and biscuits upon arrival. \nDoors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. \nSorry\, this event is for adults and teenage children only. Teenagers must be accompanied by their parent(s) or guardian(s). Wine and beer option available for over 18’s only. \nThis exclusive tour of the house is by candlelight and through darkened rooms\, so guests will need to take extra care while moving through the building. Those of a nervous disposition should only attend the event if accompanied by another person. \nNarrow stairs will be used to access the cellars and first floor of the building\, so some parts of the experience will not be suitable/accessible for those with walking difficulties or  needing a wheelchair for which we apologise in advance. \nFree parking is available in the rotunda car park\, with entrance through the main rotunda doors. \nSigned copies of Tim Wanders book “Ghosts of Northwood House” will be available to purchase on the night. \nEvent lasts approx 2- 2.5 hours. \nPlease note: This is not a ghost walk with play actors trying to scare you or with scenes of spoof horror. This is an evening of story telling for those fascinated in local history and the many tales and legends associated with this famous island venue. \nFor the Northwood House Paranormal investigations events on 26th & 27th October 2022 please click here: \nParanormal Investigations – Halloween Awakening – Northwood House \nOther T&C’s: \n\nFull payment must be made at the time of booking.

So there is probably no better place on the Island to carry out a real paranormal investigation to see what lies within. \nFor more than a century\, people have believed that due to the myriad of ley-lines that run beneath the Island’s landscape\, that powerful magnetic forces exist which are directly responsible for increases in supernatural energy and paranormal activity. It is widely believed in pagan circles that Northwood House lies on one such line making it centre of local attention in the spirit and ghost hunting world. \nWhatever you believe then you are probably intrigued by the prospect of the spirit world existing\, either as true believer already or as somebody who is open minded enough to the possibility. \nYou are now invited to join our experienced paranormal investigators to immerse yourselves in the deep history of this much loved\, yet seemingly haunted ancient building. \nAnd with some fascinating and unexplained  results from our previous four investigations\, who knows what or who we might uncover this time during Halloween\, when activity in the spirit world is said to reach it’s peak. Join us on one of two exclusive evenings\, where we will go in real search of  paranormal activity…be ready to experience the unexplained. \n \nYour experience will begin with a hot drink and briefing from our paranormal experts before the lights are extinguished and the investigation begins. In near-total darkness you will be split in to two groups and escorted around this Grade II listed building\, taking in three floors including the cellar\, narrow\, winding staircases and even a library that was once used as a morgue. Using professional ghost hunting equipment including EMF meters\, infra-red thermal scanners\, EVP sound recorders and motion detectors\, who knows what you might experience? At the end of the investigation the groups will meet up again to review discuss any unexplained activity. \nAll we know is this: these investigations are not for the faint-hearted and are aimed at those who believe in paranormal activity and the existence of the spirit world…or at least are open minded enough to find out more. If you’ve had a previous experience or an interaction with the spirit world or even seen a ghost\, please let our experts know upon arrival. \nParanormal Investigations- Halloween Awakening\, takes place on the evening of 26th and 27th October 2022 \nDoors open 9.00 pm to meet the paranormal team leaders and for a briefing of the night and what to expect. \n Investigations runs from 9.30pm  to midnight (approx). \nComplimentary tea\, coffee & biscuits available on arrival in the Rotunda entrance. \n A quick convenience break will take place for 10 minutes half way through the evening . \nA debrief will take place at the end of the investigation where people can share there experiences before going home. \nExclusive tickets only £22.50 per person. \nA very limited number of places are available on each night. \nOver 16’s only. \nThese are serious investigations and are conducted that way. Don’t expect actors in ghost costumes trying to frighten you. \n \nOther T&C’s: \n\nFull payment must be made at the time of booking. If a customer cancels their booking 7 days or more before the day of the event\, a full refund will be given.\nNo refund will be given for cancellations less than 7 days before the event.\nThere are circumstances beyond our control\, such as failure of a third party to supply their services\, where we may have to cancel an event at short notice. In this event\, a full refund of the ticket price will be made to customers. Expenses such as travel and accommodation will not be refunded.\nNo persons under the age of 16 are permitted to attend these investigations.\nStrictly no alcohol or drugs are permitted on site at any time. Smoking\, including the use of e-cigarettes\, is only permitted in designated areas prior to the investigations beginning.\nDue to the historic nature of the building\, accessibility is often limited. Regrettably therefore\, these investigations are unsuitable for anyone with a disability or mobility impairment which could directly affect their safe navigation or evacuation of the house.\nCustomers should be aware that they are attending the event at their own risk. Northwood House Charitable Trust Company Ltd  (NHCTCL) will not be responsible for any injuries sustained nor loss or damage to property. NHCTCL carries Public Liability Insurance but due to the locations being beyond what would normally be available to the public\, we recommend customers have their own third party liability insurance.\nThese investigations will take place in near-total darkness and occasionally confined spaces. As such\, they may be unsuitable for anyone with relevant phobias.\nCustomers are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible manner\, and with courtesy and respect towards the investigation team and fellow customers.

Please pay at the admission point fr entry. \nJoin us at Northwood House for this rare and fascinating chance to view an exhibition of over 230 iconic Isle of Wight original prints by George Brannon\, the eminent artist\, engraver and print maker collected by Island historian Ken Hicks. Between 1820 and 1862\, Brannon captured the Island’s beautiful scenery and famous landmarks through the Georgian and Victorian periods. \nWe believe this is the most comprehensive collection of prints and engravings ever assembled showing well-known Island locations including local towns\, villages and beauty spots\, many of which are still very recognisable today. \n \nThe collection provides a fantastic insight into Island life some 200 years ago. During Brannon’s lifetime the handmade prints were sometimes sold individually but most were bound in yearly editions of Brannon’s popular book “Vectis Scenery”\, first was published in 1821. This was a hugely popular publication through most of the 19th Century and has been referred to as the Island’s first tourist and souvenir guidebook due to the comprehensive illustrations and maps providing visitors with a unique piece of memorabilia in the age before photography. \nThe exhibition also features eleven original Brannon printing plates as well as some of his original engraving tools. Recent prints from some of these plates are also featured with a chance to order your own copy directly. \n \nThe exhibition is open on Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd October 2022 (10am-4pm) in the Northwood House Ballroom & Dining room\, with collection experts on hands to take questions and provide additional insight where required. Northwood House will also be operating a tearoom with hot drinks\, cakes and refreshments in the Drawing room. \n General Admission (online tickets and on the door): \nAdmission to the exhibition is £6.00 on the door\, with online pre-booked tickets available for £5.00 if purchased before the weekend from the bottom of this page. \nAn exhibition guidebook is also available for £3.00 if ordered in advance with an admission ticket (or £4.00 on the door)\, with all proceeds going to Northwood House Charitable Trust Company Ltd towards restoration funds. \nNorthwood House Members: £4.00 \nStudents under 18 and university students with an ID Card: Free admission \nEnhanced Admission: \nAdmission & cream tea £10.50 (with pre-booking discount) \nChoose an arrival time and pre-book a cream tea in the Drawing Room to enjoy a pot of tea or coffee\, two home-made scones\, jam and clotted cream.

It’s the BBC’s 100th anniversary in 2022\, so the show celebrates the moment by looking back at this iconic moment in broadcasting history! \nPaul plays the two genuine radio pioneers: Arthur Burrows and Peter Eckersley. 100 years ago they were opposing voices in The Marconi Company\, with very different ideas of what radio was: Burrows the prophetic dreamer looking to build a national service\, eager to inform and educate… while the rebellious Captain Eckersley just wanted to entertain and amuse his listeners. But which of them will give the first radio broadcast on what becomes known as the British Broadcasting Company? \nHear Arthur and Peter’s story\, as well as their voices\, and see one of the first 1920’s crystal radio sets. Be informed\, educated and entertained! \nJoin us for this fascinating and very original show\, performed exclusively here for us on the Island by the man who wrote it!  It’s great for history buffs\, but also by anyone who appreciates quality entertainment! \nTickets for the show are £12 each or £16.50 with a glass of house wine* on arrival\, with seating in lounge/club style. \nDoors open at 7pm\, with the performance starting promptly at 7.30pm. \nThe House Bar will be open throughout the evening for drinks including the 15 minute interval at 8.30pm. \nThe show will finish by 9.45pm\, with a chance to meet Paul afterwards at the bar! \n*House wine: 175ml glass of  House Merlot\, House Sauvignon Blanc or House Rose to choose on arrival.

This will help reduce social interactions in the venue over the weekend\, making it safer for everyone to attend. \nA number of key Island wedding suppliers will have dressed the venue and set up promotional displays\, these aren’t manned on the day so couples can wander around without anyone trying to sell their services which is much more relaxing for those who attend. “ \nThe Northwood House Wedding Open Weekend is free to enter\, with doors open between 10:00 am and 3:30 pm on the days.  Just book your arrival time slot below in advance and turn up at your time to enter this friendly and informal event. \nIf you are unable to make the Open Weekend\, couples can arrange a free no obligation viewing of the venue at a time to suit by phoning 293642.  Some great wedding dates are still available for 2022 and 2023 with bookings now being taken up to the end of 2024. \n  URL:https://northwoodhouse.org/event/wedding-open-weekend/ LOCATION:Northwood House\, Ward Avenue\, Cowes\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northwoodhouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/jeffries-wedding-340.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Northwood House":MAILTO:administrator@northwoodhouse.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20211119T170000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20211222T233000 DTSTAMP:20211214T124503Z CREATED:20211020T133530Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211214T124503Z UID:9560-1637341200-1640215800@northwoodhouse.org SUMMARY:House Lounge table and food booking page (password protected) DESCRIPTION:Content is protected.
