Connor Boyd (Spiritual Medium)

Connor Boyd is a spiritual medium who gives demonstrations of mediumship, passing on messages he describes as coming from people in spirit. He works with what he calls a direct, honest and compassionate approach, and he holds evenings of mediumship at events across the country. He will be at the Guildhall in September, giving a demonstration during the weekend.

His style leans towards evidence in the messages rather than broad reassurance, which is to say he aims for details a person can actually recognise. The word people tend to use about his work is care, and that fits the kind of thing a demonstration is: someone stands at the front of a room and speaks about grief and memory to strangers, and how that is handled matters.

What a demonstration of mediumship is like

A demonstration is not a private reading. It is a room, an audience and a medium working aloud, offering messages and seeing who they land with. You do not need to be singled out to get something from it. Many people come to watch, to understand how it works, or because a particular loss has brought them there. Connor’s direct and compassionate manner is suited to that: the aim is comfort and clarity, not spectacle.

Who tends to come

People come to mediumship for the ordinary human reasons. Someone has died and there was more they wanted to say. A period of loss has left things unfinished. Or they are simply curious and want to see an evening of mediumship for themselves. You can come without believing anything in particular and still find the experience worth your evening. If anything, the honest and unshowy style Connor describes tends to suit people who are wary of the theatrical version.

Something to try this week

Mediumship, at its plainest, is about paying close attention to the people we have lost. You can do a small piece of that yourself. Pick someone who has died and write down one memory in detail, not the big occasions but a small ordinary moment, and let yourself sit with it for a few minutes. It is a quiet, grounding thing to do, and it asks nothing of you but time.

Connor Boyd is one of over 70 readers, healers and stallholders at the Mind Body Spirit & Wellness Weekend, Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September 2026, at Stockport Masonic Guildhall. His demonstration, like every session across the weekend, is included with entry.
