Did you know we are a charity? Since its opening in 1866, Shoreditch Town Hall has witnessed everything from Victorian reform and Sylvia Pankhurst’s activism, to vibrant boxing matches, and the electrifying Whirl-Y-Gigs in the 90s. Each era has left its mark on this iconic building to make it the creative venue it is today, and now it’s our turn to care for its future.

“Death is no more than passing from one room into another.” — Helen Keller
Thank you for inviting us into your home. We didn't know where else to go…
A dead couple look for a temporary solution to their permanent condition.
VISITORS is an experience for only two people at a time, sitting opposite one another, and is a reflection on our irrepressible desire to touch and asks why the dead find so little comfort in the world of the living. We require you to remain 3 metres apart, and while you may yearn to reach across the chasm that separates you, we ask you to be careful who else you invite in…
VISITORS doesn’t work for an individual, so we ask for people to book in as a pair to ensure you have a partner. Each ticket allows entry for 2 people.
VISITORS was part of Season One of the DARKFIELD RADIO digital project and for the first time is being presented as a physical installation.
This show is part of DARKFIELD's take over of Shoreditch Town Hall's atmospheric basement space, The Ditch. Featuring a number of their experiences in a live space for the first time, DARKFIELD's two-week run of innovative immersive experiences situates each participant at the centre of intense evolving narratives.

Each show has an approximate run time of 30 mins, including the briefing.
Please leave at least 10 minutes between the end of one show before the start of the next, to ensure you have time to move between them. For example, when booking a show at 7pm, please ensure your next show slot is no earlier than 7:40pm.
The bar will be open from 5pm each weekday and from 12pm on Saturdays, until 10.30pm, welcoming everyone - even if you don't have a ticket.
Want to soak up the atmosphere of The Ditch in your own way? Bring your own board game (BYOB[oard game]!) and enjoy a relaxed evening of games, drinks, and the unique energy of DARKFIELD.
DARKFIELD RADIO launched to critical acclaim: the project was an app delivering 360 degree immersive audio experiences to audiences at home, immersing audiences in strange and curious worlds, bringing new meaning to the familiar spaces we inhabit. The pieces have featured in major film festivals such as Venice International Film Festival, IDFA, Raindance Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, SXSW, Kaohsiung Film Festival and others, and also won Columbia’s Digital Storytelling Lab’s Breakthrough Award in 2021, in recognition of the year’s most innovative narrative. Now the shows tour as physical installations, to venues and festivals worldwide.
