Half Term Children's Ghost Walk

Chester's museums service is running a Half Term Children's Ghost Walk on Thursday 29 October, leaving from the Town Hall flagpole on Northgate Street. It's a guided walk through the city's ghost stories, put together as a family-friendly introduction to the local lore, and it's part of the museums' autumn calendar.

Ann from the Grosvenor Museum will be leading the way, so you'll have a proper guide to walk you through the tales rather than just a list of sites to visit. The walk is run by the museums service, and it's designed for families, so it's a good one if you've got kids with you and want to get them into the city's ghost stories without anything too heavy. It's a guided tour, so you'll follow Ann as she tells the stories along the route.

One thing to keep in mind before you sign up: there are steps on the route, so it's worth knowing that if you're thinking about prams or anyone who struggles with stairs. The walk runs from 5.30pm to 7pm, and you'll need to meet at the flagpole in front of the Town Hall by 5.20pm to get sorted before you set off.

Booking is essential, and you do that through the Grosvenor Museum on 01244 972197. It's £12 per adult, with two children free, and you pay the guide in cash on the day. The walk was added to the museums' calendar at the end of September, and places are likely to go quickly, so it's worth getting your name down sooner rather than later.
