Wimps be warned! BAC is soon to be overtaken by the most macabre installation exploring the hidden horrors of Battersea’s history.
This free exhibition as part of Homegrown Festival 2025 includes five audio trails, each telling a different gruesome fable from Battersea’s past. Pop on a pair of headphones and immerse yourself with visual prompts in tales that range from the gory to the supernatural – 100% based on true stories and unadulterated facts.
The exhibition will also include a sneak peek of the upcoming short film Battersea Ghoulbusters, a brand-new horror comedy made by local filmmakers.
