THE CURIOUS EMPORIUM
April 20 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
After a successful first event last year, Arcane Exhibitions returns to The York Medical Society, on the 20th of April, to curate another multi-sensory market experience. The latest edition of THE CURIOUS EMPORIUM will see the ancient traditions and practices of the spring festival; BELTANE brought imaginatively to life, within the walls of the historic York Medical Society. Smell the ceremonial bonfires as they burn, see the beautiful yellow of the May flowers, hear the birdsong, take part in ancient rituals and feast in our pop-up vegan and gluten free cafe, which has tea and coffee, alongside a selection of home made cakes!
Visit our 12 dynamic sellers of the weird and the wonderful, who all have a plethora of hand-made items, which you can’t get in any shops. Our traders will be announced one by one, as we head towards the big day, so keep your eyes on our Facebook page to see who we have trading with us! Just search “Arcane Exhibitions” on Facebook to find it! By attending and (hopefully) making a purchase from one (or more!) of our traders, you are supporting alternative culture and independent businesses, which are two things very close to our hearts!
The event is multi-sensory. Each room has strong theming, a customised sound track, visual stimuli and scent profiles galore, from the moment you walk through the door!
You may experience strange activity at the event. The building is reportedly haunted by 2 interactive personality ghosts and 1 poltergeist, so if you feel a little tap on your shoulder, or see something out of the ordinary, you probably won’t be the first! We encourage anyone who is interested in paranormal studies to attend.
Everyone and anyone is welcome to attend, however we are exploring dark themes in our decorations, so very small children might get a bit scared! Disabled access is possible and assistance dogs are also welcome.
