The Paranormal
Festival.

A full day and night celebrating the paranormal community — people first, headlines second.

Who we are

Built by the community, for the community.

The Paranormal Festival brings together genuine speakers, investigators, exhibitors, creators and enthusiasts for in-person talks, demonstrations, entertainment and interactive experiences.

So much of this community lives online — across podcasts, videos, comments and groups. The festival exists to bring those connections into the same room: a welcoming place to learn, share experiences and meet the people behind the voices you know.

Join us at Frankenstein Bar on Sunday 18 July 2027. The festival is organised by Gatherstone Ltd, with the same care for fairness and transparency across our events in Chester and Edinburgh.

What we stand for

Community first

Believers, sceptics, researchers, creators and the simply curious — everyone has a place here, and respectful conversation is the point.

Recognition

With The Haunties Awards, we celebrate the people whose dedication, kindness and originality make this community what it is.

Real experiences

In-person talks, demonstrations, a marketplace, entertainment and an evening party — a full day and night, not just a stage.
