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.

From fiery uprisings to cursed pubs, each story will draw you deeper into the city's troubled past.
