About the Tour

An exploration of Liverpool's Old Necropolis of St James' Cemetery Gardens...

Promenade street theatre and storytelling at its finest and most entertaining.

A crucible of Contrasts, Ghosts and Ghoulish creatures, History and Heritage Magic and Medicine, Squalour and Splendor, A most Gothic and glorious setting- The Liverpool Secret Garden Cemetery Tour really has it all...

A unique gaze into the lives of others, those now, on the other side. Immersed within an enchanted garden, formerly the Necropolis of Liverpool, City of the Dead, St James' Cemetery Gardens.

Through the prism of our signature expert storytelling and award-winning guiding skills Shiverpool will transport you on a spine-tingling Gothic odyssey through the layers of time and place where spooky spirits dance and storytellers dream & weave their tales in the pale moonlight, a journey you are unlikely to forget...

An experience that embraces history & folklore, ghostly ghoulish fables, the gruesome chapters of Victorian Public Health and the innovations there in, The Cemetery Shivers Tour explores and dissects the grim narrative of the darker side of Liverpool's past, and stitches together the beginning middle and end, where death completes us all. That last patch of untouched snow that no-one can report back on... Or so they say!

This experience also explores our attitudes to death and dying - hark dear creatures, It is Death that makes life worth living! We will also find hope in the darkness and discover pioneers that really did carve out a legacy that gave love life and friendship to the story of Liverpool's great and good.
