🔮 Psychic Supper at The Motte & Bailey, Pirton
Saturday 26 July 2025
Time: 18:00
🔮 Psychic Supper Readings, Group Demo, Private 1-2-1s & Ghost Stories at The Motte & Bailey, Pirton.
ℹ️ ABOUT:
Join us for a tantalising & eclectic mix of psychic mediumship, clairvoyance, Tarot, supernatural ghost stories and perhaps even a bit of magick? Tuned In Events focuses solely on the psychic entertainment aspects. It's worth noting that the focus of this event is very much on enjoying the readings as part of a shared group experience, rather than a 1-2-1s based evening. Small groups of people or couples may need to be added to larger tables if necessary – so Attendees may end up sharing a table with other Guests. Individual private 1-2-1 readings will be available at extra cost.
✅️ ARRIVING/ CHECK IN DETAILS - 6PM
For this event, Attendees will be asked to arrive around 6pm ready to be seated by 6.30pm, have their names checked on the Guest List and will then shown to their Group tables – where they'll sit down, all ready for a whole evening's worth of spiritual entertainment, with food.
😋 THE SUPPER - 7PM
Food will be served between 7pm – 7.30pm and will be provided by the Venue as part of a Three Course Meal.
Drinks or side extras etc are not included in the Ticket price (unless stated) and will need to be bought & paid for separately, at the bar.
Definitely do inform the Venue directly if you have any food allergies, intolerances or are vegan or vegetarian. They will do their very best to accommodate Guest's needs and are solely responsible for the food, drinks & catering side of things. Please be aware that the onus is upon our Guests to inform the Venue directly of any personal dietary requirements.
✅️ PLEASE NOTE
Please note that unfortunately there are no guarantees that everyone will receive a reading, nor how long their readings may last. It will all be totally luck of the draw. Guests will need to be very aware that our Psychic Suppers are being promoted as a shared group experience, rather than focusing on individual readings. Private 1-2-1 readings will also be available on the night from our Readers, at extra cost. Be prepared for the fact that some people may receive longer readings or more frequent readings than others, during our Group performances. To keep things fresh, our Readers will swap around a lot to add variation and they'll try their very best to read as many people as possible on the night!
👻 SPOOKY GHOST STORIES
Interspersed with Group readings there'll be a few curious supernatural tales, recounted by some of our talented story-telling Readers (many of whom have a background in paranormal research). They will provide ghoulish accounts of personal experiences and spooky goings-on. These will not be fiction, but rather, allegedly true local legends of apparitions, spectral sightings, odd experiences and all things that go bump in the night.
Are they real ? Are they just vivid imagination ? Who knows – this will very much be for everyone to decide !
Some of our Readers run their own ghost walks, ghost tours and regularly take part in ghosthunts. They each have a fascinating wealth of knowledge regarding all manner of strange goings-on in the local area. They will find out about what haunted activity is taking place at county, town and maybe even individual venue level to deliver as many ethereal tales as possible. Sleep well – if you can !
🔮 ADDITIONAL 1-2-1 PSYCHIC READINGS
For those specifically seeking a longer, more individualistic psychic reading – our private 1-2-1s will be available on the night (at extra cost), running from right the beginning of the event onwards (until late). Guests can choose from : 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 Minute sessions (£1 per minute) and pay the Reader directly using either cash or in some cases, card (please ask each Reader individually).

💖 CHARITY STALLS
We believe that it is our responsibility to re-pay the community for all the support
we’ve enjoyed over 25 years. So we have always made it our responsibility
to help charities with a special offer. We don’t give money but help them to help
themselves by giving them a very special deal on the price of a pitch. We particularly like having the smaller charities with us. For instance every year a husband and wife raise money for a special school to have an outing and any money left over is used towards much-needed equipment. Speak to one of our team, or phone us on 07852 70 70 74.
🗺 HOW TO FIND US
You can find us on the A507 just outside of Baldock. Coming from the A1 take the second exit from the ‘Tesco’ roundabout, follow this road to the next roundabout and then turn right. We are on the right just up the road.
📍For Sat navs use SG7 6RD which will bring you close enough to the field.
