We are aiming for max team sizes of 6 - if you buy an individual ticket and don't have a team we will sort you out  - all are welcome!  

If you are gathering a team of 6 - then you can use the group offer (above) to get a free ticket when you buy five.  

There will be decor, there will be prizes, there will be one very scary quiz master (not Nigel Farage don't worry) and there may even be a raffle (what a shock that would be at a Lib Dem event).  

Please note the venue is not accessible, but if someone would like to attend who requires an accessible venue - we will set things up so you can join in from home via a virtual meeting.      

If you cannot make it but you just love Halloween (or the Lib Dems) then please feel free to make a donation instead.
