IMPORTANT UPDATE: HORROR IN THE CAVES: 22nd - 25th October 2026

UPDATE 18th OCTOBER: Unfortunately we have been informed this afternoon that our annual Horror in the Caves event has to be postponed due to a leak at the venue, Redcliffe Caves.

We are devastated that this has impacted our 10th anniversary Halloween celebrations, but we have a plan in place, and wanted to write to fully explain the situation and the next steps.

We went to site to ensure there was attendance and witnessed the repair works with the Council and were assured that the issue was under control. All seemed to be resolved.

Due to the historic nature of the area, there are occasional leaks of this kind, and once they are identified they are normally resolved within days, so we were not duly concerned.

However, when the Harbour Office returned to the site for the pre-event walkthrough, the leak has intensified.

It has transpired that there is now a second leak from a private property, and as a result Bristol Water cannot directly repair it and must provide the owner with a window in which to act.

This leak is apparently worse than the original one, and as of this afternoon had not been halted.

Even if the leak is fixed in the next couple of days, the Caves will need time to dry out properly, otherwise the experience will be unpleasant for our audiences with high humidity levels and could interfere with the cinema equipment.

As you can imagine, there is a great deal of admin to reschedule all of our screenings at the Caves, alongside the rest of our ongoing Halloween programme, but this is a priority.

We have closed sales and waiting lists for now and have written directly to all ticket holders about the next steps - please check your emails if you are one of them.
