What we’re about
The International Ghost Society is a creative studio based in Edinburgh, Scotland. We design immersive events here and elsewhere.
You might know us because of our semi-regular Robot Vacuum Fight Club, or our Post-Apoclayptic Christmas Party in a nuclear bunker. Or you might have met us when we hosted an interactive Valentine’s Day gameshow, an Exorcism in a Coffee Shop, or an Edinburgh Fringe show about history’s most infamous episode of Come Dine With Me.
If you want to be in the know for future events, you should join our mailing list. It’s free, and we only ever email you when we have something in the works.
We also have a YouTube channel where we post videos about strange, spooky and interesting things. We’d love it if you subscribed to us there as well.

See all- Robot Vacuum Fight ClubThe Brunswick Pub, Brighton
NB: This is a ticketed event. You'll need to purchase a ticket directly from the Brighton Fringe Box Office.
Last year we debuted our show Robot Vacuum Fight Club at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe. And it went so well, that we’re taking it on the road to the Brighton Fringe in 2025!
Our one-night-only show is on at The Brunswick in Brighton on the 24th May at 22:30.
Robot Vacuum Fight Club is exactly what it sounds like: an interactive gameshow where teams customise robot vacuum cleaners and then have them face off in an arena in a series of knockout competitions that test speed, agility, suction power and ferocity.
Tickets are limited, and you can get yours from the official Fringe website.
- World War II Cookery ClassEdinburgh New Town Cookery School, Edinburgh
NB: This is a ticketed event. To attend, you'll need to purchase a ticket via Eventbrite.
Join the International Ghost Society for a one-off historical cookery class, during which you'll learn about food during the Second World War, and get to try your hand at making some classic WWII dishes.
While many people associate the years of the Second World War with rationing, it was also a time of great ingenuity in cooking. Hundreds of new recipes were invented, making use of what was available, and responding to shortages, the national mood, and changing trends. Many of these recipes have since been lost to history... but this event offers you a chance to taste some of the forgotten foods of this pivotal era in the history of the world.
Our venue is the ENTCS in Edinburgh: a beautiful Georgian building that is now home to a fully-equipped cookery school. All the implements, equipment and ingredients you'll need are provided, and there'll be help on hand throughout.
Mix and enjoy a classic WWII-era cocktail while we learn about rationing, food on the different fronts of the war, communal kitchens, military rations, shortages, exotic foods during the war, and more.
Then put on an apron, pick a recipe, and put together a classic World War Two dish. Recipes include vinegar cake, Lord Woolton pie, and a mock banana sandwich. While we'll focus mainly on the British home front during this event, we'll have the option to make a few recipes from the trenches and from other nations.
At the end of the evening, we'll present and sample our creations... and you'll have the option to take what you've cooked home with you.
