Alternative Valentines Day: Cemetery Tour and Corpse Bride at Arnos Vale Cemetery in Bristol on Wednesday 14th February 2018
Posted on: 05 Feb 2018For those of us who generally balk at the usual Valentine's Day expectations of expensive chocolates, saccharine love poems and half-dead blooms purchased at the last minute from a petrol station, Arnos Vale in Bristol is offering a deliciously dark alternative when it hosts a cemetery tour and screening of Corpse Bride on Wednesday 14th February 2018.

The evening of spine-tingling spooks and scares commences from 6.30pm at the Spielman Centre from where you'll be taken on a tour whilst being regaled terrifying tales of forbidden love, love from beyond the grave and secret love signs etched on the gravestones.
It will all finish at the grandiose candle-lit Anglican Chapel for an indoor screening of the Tim Burton stop-motion animated classic, Corpse Bride, the flesh-creepingly fantastic fable of a young man whisked away to the Land of the Dead after inadvertently proposing to a dead woman.
A refreshingly macabre spin on the day's usually barf-inducing schmaltzy sentimentality, tickets for both tour and film cost £15 - and these nights are always incredibly popular so it's advisable to get your undead digits at the ready to reserve your place by clicking here.
Arnos Vale is located at Bath Road, Bristol, BS4 3EW. Tel. 0117 9719117
