Ritual by Ritual Events is just that. Upon arrival I am greeted by a man in a metallic mask and long black cape who instructs me to put on one of the masks provided on a table by the entrance. Now I’m excited!

When all the audience are present, we are ushered into the venue for the ritual. The feeling is similar to being in a secret order, but with no knowledge of what is going to happen next.

We are met inside by a host with a feathered headdress and long dress complete with black leather corset. She informs us that we will be witnessing several rituals tonight that will make us question our very nature, and if we are do not feel we can endure these rituals to leave.

Full credit to Ritual Events. Ritual is a true immersive experience and their attention to detail is flawless. From the elaborate makeups to gothic horror costumes, eastern European costumes, clever lighting/sound, almost Transylvanian accents and a carefully crafted script, everything is spot on.

Needless to say, I loved the brief time I spent in Ritual and wanted more, I was captivated.

Ritual is a cleverly devised immersive experience that is sure to have you on the edge of your seat and questioning some of the values you hold sacred. It is an out of the city event and deserves full houses. Go along and see if you survive the ritual, I dare you!
