Description

As darkness falls, Oxford’s haunted history stirs to life! Follow your guide through the oldest parts of the medieval city, uncovering Oxford's grim and gruesome past.

Beginning at the Martyrs Cross, where bishops burned alive in the reign of Bloody Mary, wander down shadowy streets and alleys to the forbidding Dead Man's Walk, where a spectral soldier guards the city walls for eternity.

Hear of murders and executions, phantoms and spirits, ancient libraries and unsolved mysteries... and the real-life history behind them!

See and learn where Oxford's brooding architecture has inspired generations of storytellers like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis; Phillip Pullman and Oscar Wilde, and played host to literary characters from Hamlet to Harry Potter.

As you meander through the moonlit passageways, your guide will relate their favourite horrible histories and spectral stories from across the ages. They may even tell you of their own eerie experiences on the cobbles of Oxford's most haunted street... if they’re sure the resident poltergeist isn’t listening!

Join us — and the ghosts of centuries past — for a tour of Oxford's macabre history, fantasy heritage, and sinister tales that will haunt your imagination...
