Victorian Ghost Stories for Christmas

Step into the shadows of Hampshire's most haunted house for a chilling festive tradition! The Victorians celebrated the darkest, coldest days of the year by gathering in the flickering candlelight to share terrifying tales of restless spirits and lurking spectres.

Unlike typical cheery Christmas events, we bring you the genuine hangman’s humour of history. Our storytellers will guide you through the Manor's drafty, wood-panelled rooms and forbidden corridors, dodging winter shadows at every turn. You will uncover classic Victorian ghost lore seamlessly woven into the real, dark history of Portsmouth’s oldest building—from the notorious haunted Blue Room to the phantom hound on the stairs. Discover the scientific side of the paranormal and why the Victorians were so obsessed with the dead during the season of goodwill.

Join our darkly humorous festive tour in the heart of a deeply haunted manor; together we'll explore the creaking floorboards, learn a little, laugh a little, but scream a lot!
