There’s no shortage of ways to celebrate the season in Aldgate. The only question is, which one will you dare to choose? 😈

You’ll have 60 minutes to find your way out, with live actors, jump scares, darkness and sinister puzzles waiting around every corner. Can you make it out in time? 

📍69 Commercial Street, London, E1 6BD

This World Mental Health Day, the theme is Lived Experiences Heard, and we believe listening starts close to home.

Petticoat Lane is full of people with stories worth hearing: bakers, perfumiers, hairdressers, historians and lifelong locals who help make this community what it is. Every one of them has a lived experience to share, and every one of them deserves to be heard.

Take a moment today to get to know some of them. 🧡 Discover their stories via the link in our bio.
