About This Event

Shakespeare's Birthplace will offer an after-dark walking tour in Stratford Upon Avon starting October 30th, 2026. Visitors will walk through the shadows following a route themed around historical figures such as witches and murderers.

Walk in the footsteps of witches, murderers and ghosts on this after-dark tour this Halloween.

Step into the shadows of Stratford-Upon-Avon, where the town’s darkest secrets and sinister past come to life. From chilling unsolved murders and whispered tales of witchcraft to the horrors of Plague and Civil War, this 1.5-hour tour will reveal the eerie side of the town best known for its famous poet and playwright. But beware, what lurks in the history of Stratford is far darker than you might expect.

This is no ordinary walk through Stratford-Upon-Avon. As you tread through haunting graveyards and along its spooky, cobbled streets, your local guide will unravel spine-chilling stories of mystery, death, and terror. Forget the rosy tales of Shakespeare, here, the ghosts of Stratford’s tragic past await you.

Warwickshire’s oldest unsolved murder
