About this Event

DISCOVER NOTTINGHAM’S DARK HISTORY THIS HALLOWEEN WEEKEND


Join us this Halloween weekend for a walking tour that reveals the sinister secrets buried in the shadows of Nottingham. Once known as the City of Rebels, this is a place of riots, executions, hauntings, and gruesome tales that still echo through its streets and caves.

Over 1.5 haunted hours with guide Sam, you’ll follow in the footsteps of Luddites, rioters, body snatchers, and condemned prisoners, uncovering the dark history that lingers beneath Nottingham’s rebellious spirit. From fiery uprisings to cursed pubs, each story will draw you deeper into the city’s troubled past.


Tour highlights:

  • Nottingham’s bloody riots & rebellions
  • The last public execution at the Shire Hall
  • Body snatchers of Barker Gate
  • Ghosts of Nottingham Castle & Mortimer’s Hole
  • The haunted gallows of the Justice Museum
  • The cholera-ridden slums of Narrow Marsh
    …& more!
