“Me and my mother went on this tour on Halloween night 2024. It was absolutely fantastic, we really enjoyed it!

It was brilliantly informative, spooky and Spindleshanks McSrew was a superb, entertaining and funny host. It was quite honestly the best halloween evening I’ve had in years.

Thanks for the wonderful time and we hope to come on this tour again and I recommend anyone reading this to go on the tour!”

“We went on the tour in a dark Saturday night with the fireworks lighting up the sky
Our guide led us through the streets with her lantern telling us stories and with a superb Wordsworth rendition! We learnt loads about the local history, hauntings and goings on. Great evening highly recommended!”
