If you fancy a spooky night out this autumn, why not come on one of the Shrewsbury ghost tours, being held during October and November 2013.

Shrewsbury is one of the most haunted towns in England, and a guided ghost walk is the ideal way to learn more about them.

Did you know about the soldiers seen in Barracks Passage?  Learn about the matron and the nurse in the Parade shopping centre, and hear about the resident ghosts who are regularly seen in Prince Rupert hotel.  Although our guides cannot guarantee any sightings, you will be intrigued by these stories and many more.

The tours start on Thursday 17 October and take place each Thursday night throughout October and November, with extra dates during half-term week. Tours start at 7pm.

Tickets are £4.50 for adults and £2.50 for children (16 and under).

These tours are always very popular and it is advisable to book early to avoid disappointment.

The tours can be booked in person at the Shrewsbury Visitor Information Centre, Rowley’s House, Barker Street or by telephone with a credit/debit card.

The Shrewsbury Visitor Information Centre is located at Rowley’s House, Barker Street, Shrewsbury and can be contacted on 01743 258888.  The centre is open Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm.
