Ghost Stories from The Kings Theatre

Take your seat ready to delve into ghost stories, phantom audience members, backstage spirits, and theatrical tragedy! Embark on a journey through over a century of history at the magnificent Kings Theatre, revealing true tales of spectres and shades, and be captivated by eerie stories that come alive after dark.

Unlike other ghost walks, we bring you the genuine hangman’s humour of history through its myths and legends. Our storytellers will guide you through the theatre's dark and forbidden spaces, dodging shadows at every corner. You'll discover the dark secrets of this 1907 Edwardian playhouse built by legendary architect Frank Matcham. Uncover ghostly tales—from spirits spotted watching from the shadows of the stalls to seats mysteriously pushed down by unseen guests—and discover the scientific side of paranormal occurrences through decades-old stories.

Join our darkly humorous, award-winning, ghost tour in the heart of a haunted theatre; together we'll explore the silent auditoriums and shadowed staircases, learn a little, laugh a little—but scream a lot!
