Dress Code: Step Into Your Fantasy Character

There is no strict uniform, but dressing in theme is strongly encouraged.

For this event we would suggest leaning into the woodland fae courts vibe, think faeries, pixies, goblins, guardians of the forest, bards, medieval themes, leaves, feathers, horns, hooves… anything you would find wandering amongst the depths of the forest.

Accessibility and Inclusive Experience

Berwick House has ramped access via the rear of the property, reached from the car park. Signage will be in place on the day, and our crew will be happy to help if you need any assistance.

We also understand that immersive events can be overwhelming for some guests. That’s why the library will remain intentionally quiet throughout the evening. Storytelling sessions and live painting workshops will take place there, giving guests a calmer space to relax before returning to the festivities.

Travelling to Through The Veil

Travelling by public transport? We’ve made getting to the venue even easier.

A dedicated coach transfer will run between Shrewsbury Railway Station and Berwick House, taking guests directly to the event before returning to the station at the end of the evening.

Whether you’re travelling from elsewhere in Shropshire or further afield, you can enjoy the event without worrying about driving.

return Transfers are £20 + £1.20 booking fee – Cheaper than on-the-night ubers!
