Old Joint Stock Pub & Theatre

Afternoon Tea 🍰🫖

If we were ghosts, we'd want to spend our time surrounded by the spectacular interiors of Old Joint Stock Pub & Theatre – that's for sure. 

Born originally as a library in 1862 then later a bank, the history of this Victorian pub goes way back – with its grand scale leaving plenty of room for spirits to roam. Staff have reported an unshakeable sense of being watched, and hearing footsteps on the balcony of the locked and empty theatre.
