Location: Michelham Priory
Ticket Price: £15 - £7.50
Unlike other ghost tours, we bring you the genuine hangman’s humour of history through its myths and legends. Our storytellers will guide you through the Priory's dark and forbidden history, dodging shadows at every corner of this ancient estate. Uncover ghostly tales, from the legendary Grey Lady staring sorrowfully into the dark waters of the moat, to the phantom of Tudor owner Thomas Sackville who still terrorizes the spirit of a little girl named Rosie in the upper corridors. Explore the origins of myths and legends, and discover the scientific side of paranormal occurrences through centuries-old stories of monks, murder, and treason.
Join our darkly humorous ghost tour in the heart of one of Sussex's most haunted houses; together we'll explore the shadowy rooms and ancient grounds, learn a little, laugh a little, but scream a lot!

Highlights
Join a guided, theatrical ghost tour of the dimly lit Tudor house, the eerie undercroft, and the historic gatehouse, infused with our signature hangman’s humour. Experience real history as you separate fact from fiction, exploring the Priory's past from its peaceful monastic days to the brutal destruction of Henry VIII's Dissolution. Hear the tales of the legendary figures who walked here—from Augustinian canons to World War II evacuees—and the unseen entities left in their wake.
