WEDNESDAY

Ghost Walk of Hitchin - British Schools Museum

Join us this Hallowe'en Night for a walking tour of Haunted Hitchin, culminating with a very special tour of our haunted school site...

Suitable for adults 16+, join us on this walk and learn about the darker side of hidden Hitchin history on October 25 and October 31 at 7pm, meeting at the museum. 

The tour will begin and end at the Hitchin British School, site of many paranormal investigations, and you will have the unique opportunity to join us on a guided tour around the Museum 'after-hours' at the end of the walk and learn about the accounts of people who have felt something inexplicable- or perhaps even 'other-worldly'- right here at the school.

Your guide will not 'make anything up' or try to sway your opinion either way- instead you will hear the stories that have been told over the years and make your own mind up. However, if ghosts do exist...what better place to haunt than a 200 year old school...?
