Winchester Ghost Walk and Ghost Tours

Every street has a story to tell… you just need to close your eyes and listen…

That can be difficult with modern traffic congestion - but on a Theatre of Dark Encounters Ghost Tour you will be immersed in a world of ghosts, murder, and mystery as we weave together a hidden history that connects people to the place and the past in a very meaningful, human way.

We will take you deep into a England's dark heritage, far deeper than a virtual guidebook or bus tour ever could; because in the words of our immersive storytellers, we bring the city’s stories screaming to life.  What makes the Theatre of Dark Encounters different? The art of a good ghost story well told...

Winchester is an ancient city… the old capital of England, the home of the Kings and palaces. But the narrow twisted streets hide a darker history of the city, a town dominated by the Cathedral and the powerful Bishops, and the law courts, where traitors were trialled and sentenced to death.
