Did you know that Vincent Price was a self-confessed 'Anglophile'? Well, you can find out more this coming autumn as Victoria Price and myself host a series of events taking place in London to celebrate her dad's unique connection with the UK. Over Halloween and the first week of November, we will be hosting tours, dinners, expert talks, film screenings, location visits, parties, and much more, with the key highlights being:
• Victoria giving a special presentation on her father’s life and legacy staged at a suitably creepy location.
• Fully guided tour to the London locations of
Theatre of Blood, lead by myself (Peter Fuller).
• Fully guided tour to the London location of
Cry of the Banshee, including lunch.
• Fully guided tour to the historic town of Lavenham, Suffolk – the location of
Witchfinder General, plus expert historic advice about Vincent's character, Matthew Hopkins, from medieval witchcraft expert Jon Kaneko-James.
• A unique musical performance of
The Last Man on Earth by Sheffield duo Animat.
• Plus, pop-up dinners, exhibitions, and guided walking tours revisiting Vincent’s old London haunts and favorite museums.
If you purchase our limited VIP ticket, you will be guaranteed entry to all of these events, PLUS invitations to private tours hosted by Victoria on Thursday through Sunday– including a museum day with lunch, a private tour of Harrods Food Hall, and an afternoon exploring Portobello Road. As this year also marks the 50th anniversary of
A Treasury of Great Recipes by Mary and Vincent Price, can you think of a better way to celebrate it’s reprinting than by dining at some of the restaurants that Vincent loved so much?
This VIP ticket includes all London events & coach tours from Thursday, November 5 - Sunday, November 8, and will cost US$825/€800/£600 per person or US$1500/€1450/£965 per couple.
