It is 1813… and as the ancient capital of England the historic streets of Winchester are heavy with myth and legend. But beyond the tourist trail lies a dark trail of secrets, ghosts and of an underclass of murderers and thieves. Mixing with the wealth of the Merchants and Clergy the streets were the hiding place of highwaymen, smugglers and politics. Join us we bring these stories to life in a truly immersive experience as ghosts of the past come to tell their tales.

You will learn a little, you will laugh a little - but hopefully you will scream a lot...
