🎃👻 SPOOKY SEASON HAS ARRIVED AT DARWIN’S TOWNHOUSE… 🕯️🔮

With Halloween creeping ever closer, we thought it was time to look back at some of the rather creepy goings-on around our historic townhouse… 👀

Strange happenings, mysterious shadows and a few things that are best left unexplained… 🕸️🖤

Is it simply the quirks of a centuries-old Georgian townhouse, or could there be something a little more supernatural lurking behind our beautiful historic walls? 🧙‍♀️

What on earth will happen at Darwin’s this Halloween? 👻✨

🐒🪲 A LITTLE BIT DARWINIAN… A LOT OF CHARACTER! ✨

If you’ve ever wandered around Darwin’s Townhouse, you’ll know we’re not exactly fans of boring interiors! 👀

From cheeky monkey lamps 🐒 and botanical wallpaper 🌿 to curious beetles 🪲 and quirky little details tucked away around the townhouse, there’s always something unexpected to catch your eye.

We like to think our décor is a little like us… full of character, a touch eccentric and definitely not afraid to be different! 😉💫

But now we want to know… 👇

Which of our Darwinian decorations is YOUR favourite?

Are you team monkeys 🐒, team beetles 🪲, or is there another little detail that caught your eye during your stay?

Tell us in the comments! We’d love to know. 💚
