A Spooky Yet Heartwarming Tradition
The tradition of Christmas ghost stories is a reminder of the holiday's rich and varied history. It offers a different way to celebrate, one that honours the past and adds depth to the modern Christmas experience. Whether through classic tales or new interpretations, these stories continue to captivate and enchant, proving that the spirit of the season can be both heartwarming and haunting.

Christmas comes at the darkest time of the year, and the chilly days after the festivities have ended are the darkest of all… This winter, we invite you to embrace the tradition of Christmas ghost stories and discover the ghosts of Tamworth Castle's past!

Join us on an atmospheric tour of the castle and hear stories of strange noises and mysterious sightings.

Find out about the experiences that have made the staff shiver and see if you're brave enough to follow your guide around the castle by candlelight.

This event is suitable for age 14+ (PG). There will be no technology or attempts to make the audience jump, but please expect spooky storytelling in an ancient and reputedly haunted castle.
