View allAbout This Event
You Don’t Have to Cover Your Eyes is a performance designed for horror enthusiasts who prefer a lighter approach to the genre. Taking place at Meanwood Valley Urban Farm on 7 November 2026, each 20-minute performance includes a complimentary tea or coffee. The work is created by Leeds-based artist Ema Boswood and explores horror through a playful lens.
This is a performance made especially for people who love horror but can’t bear to be frightened. For those who like the idea of horror told as gossip, and enjoy the tingly feeling that things might not be entirely as they seem – even in a cosy café in broad daylight. *You might have to a bit. Each performance is 20 mins long, includes a free tea/coffee, and takes place at The Barn Cafe, Meanwood Valley Urban Farm. You can book your slot via the link above. About the artist. Ema Boswood is a Leeds-based independent artist, curator and prominent arts producer. This work forms the second in her series playfully exploring paranormal phenomena, following her 2019 solo show Ghost Sexxx. Who is this for? People who love the thrill of horror, but can’t watch horror films. And quirky cafe experiences. “A horror story told as gossip over cake and coffee, and a playful invitation to share with a stranger our weird and unique relationships to fear.” – Ema Boswood Access. See Meanwood Valley Farm website for access info. The performance will reference potentially distressing topics – you will have the opportunity to flag any specific content you’d like to avoid.
