To mark the release of Wednesday season 2 this month, a Thames paddle steamer is being transformed into a floating temple of the macabre in the spirit of Nevermore Academy – and everyone is invited aboard.
The Dixie Queen (below) will be hosting a free Wednesday-inspired 90-minute ‘gothic voyage through London's darker past’, promising ‘bleak history, drier commentary, and fellow passengers who also find joy in the morbid, comfort in the eerie, and humour in things better left buried’.
The cruises leave from Butler’s Wharf Pier on Wednesday, August 20. There are four sailing times, leaving at 9.30am, 1pm, 4.30pm and 8pm.
There’ll be onboard entertainment of the eeriest kind, ice cream (black, natch) and photo opportunities for anyone wanting to bring a touch of Wednesday Addams’ unsmiling aura to their IG feed.
Head to the official site to sign up for up to four seats aboard the good (ie bad) ship Wednesday. All under-18s must be accompanied by an adult.
If you can’t snag tickets now, don’t unleash your inner Hyde. There’ll also be a walk-up queue on the day.
The first four episodes of Wednesday S2 stream on Netflix on August 6, with the final four episodes landing on September 3.
