DISCOVER NOTTINGHAM'S DARK HISTORY ON 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!
