About This Adventure
About
The one hour ghost tour takes place around Tudor World, an historic building in the dead centre of Stratford upon Avon. Once the lights are switched off for the evening, the family friendly museum takes on a completely different atmosphere within this ancient building’s now shadowy labyrinth of twisting corridors and crooked rooms. Lit only by the light of the guide’s lantern, it’s spooky past (that scared even Most Haunted) are retold. With a history that goes back to the very beginnings of the Town in the 12th century, ghostly tales are the very least the visitors who are brave enough to enter it’s historic portal may uncover.
These tours take place in a dark, eerie, historic building. Tours are not suitable for the claustrophobic, pregnant women, people with a heart condition, children or the faint-of-heart
