As a London Month of the Dead regular, I was chuffed to have an event around Christmas. The performance was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect!

Join author, death doula, and transpersonal therapist and high priestess witch Tree Carr for a haunting lecture that brings to light one of the darkest chapters in British history — the witch trials.
Between the 16th and 18th centuries, thousands of people — mostly women — were accused, tortured, and executed as witches across the British Isles. In this powerful talk, Tree explores how these brutal persecutions were rooted in misogyny, religious extremism, state-sanctioned violence, classism, ableism, and deep-seated fear of the "other."
Far from mere superstition, the witch hunts were tools of control — silencing those who dared to live differently: healers, midwives, herbalists, widows, and mystics. Tree unpacks the social, political, and psychological forces that drove these atrocities, from King James VI’s obsession with demonology to the role of community betrayal, scapegoating, and systemic cruelty.
This is not just a history lesson — it’s a call to remembrance, justice, and awareness. Through stories of the accused, Tree invites us to bear witness to the silenced, to honour the misunderstood, and to reflect on the ways oppression still echoes today.
Come with open hearts and questioning minds — and leave with a deeper understanding of the witch wound still woven through our collective memory.

Organiser
A Curious Invitation and Antique Beat
This year Antique Beat and A Curious Invitation will be hosting The London Month of the Dead, a series of 36 different events investigating the capital’s relationship with its deceased residents. Events will include a private view of the Museum of London’s bone archive, taxidermy workshops, macabre walking tours and private views and a programme of weekend death salons with talks on subjects ranging from public dissection and body snatching to reincarnation and funereal folklore. Each salon will feature a pair of speakers, authorities in fields such as osteology, forensic pathology and the paranormal, who will offer their own perspectives and insights on mortality in the city.
Each year the London Month of the Dead donates 20% of all ticket revenue to one of London's magnificent seven cemeteries. In 2017 all of the death salons and concerts will be hosted at the Dissenters and Anglican chapels at Kensal Green. In previous years the month's programme has centered around Brompton Cemetery but the chapel is now undergoing important restoration work, a project the London Month of the Dead is proud to have supported.
The London Month of the Dead has been curated by a Curious Invitation and Antique Beat to inform, entertain and provoke on the subject of death and London cemeteries.
