Spooky Sleepover success

Brave volunteers survived a night in ghostly surroundings at a Spooky Sleepover recently, to fundraise for St John Ambulance.

Over £8,000 was raised by participants who were the first ever group to sleep in one of London’s newest and scariest attractions, The London Bridge Experience and the London Tombs.

The entire night was spent deep within the vaults and caverns of the famous bridge and included terrifying tours of the attraction, chilling explorations by the UK Society of Paranormal Investigation, and the showing of scary movies in preparation for settling into a sleeping bag and listening out for things that go bump in the night.

Rosie Myres, Special Events Fundraiser said: 'The event was a huge success raising over £8,000 towards the life saving work of St John Ambulance. The participants were great with all of them managing to stay the whole night in the spooky surroundings.'
