About this Event

Newcastle upon Tyne enjoys 2000 years of history. With such a long, eventful, and often dark past stretching behind it, it's hardly surprising that the city is home to a ghost or two (or ten, or fifty...) These ghosts walk the streets you pass through every day, and they lurk in buildings that you know well. Some of them may even join you for a pint - whether you're aware of them or not. Halloween fast approaches, which is the ideal time to befriend them as we head indoors in our rush to leave the autumn outside. So if you'd like to get to know the spectres of the Central Arcade, the Lit & Phil, the Theatre Royal, the Quayside, and other famous sites around this ancient city of ours, then this talk is for you...
