Hi all,

Unfortunately, we have been faced with a really difficult decision for the advertised Dark House event.

We have been forced to cancel due to more inclement weather 2/6 & 2/7. We've struggled to get our property clear from last weekends weather event, to now be faced with more happening this weekend, and more expected during the event. This puts everyone at risk for safety reasons in getting to and from St Albans, as well as our line area to enter the attraction. The temperature is anticipated to stay well below freezing until mid-February to make conditions unfit for us all to be in the building for the length of time necessary.

We hope everyone is safe and warm!

Much love, the St Albans Sanatorium crew
