Terrible Tours: The Creepy Tour 👻

What do you get when you stir together 2,000 years of history, a generous helping of ancient buildings, and a cast of some of the world’s most colourful—and cursed—characters? You get a city that’s not just old… it's alive with ghosts.

This isn't your typical walking tour. The Creepy Tour takes you on a spine-tingling journey through Cambridge’s shadowy corners and sinister past. You’ll:

  • Meet the victims of horrific punishments and explore the darkest chapters of local justice
  • Stand before the ominous hangman’s house and hear tales of gruesome retribution
  • Walk down one of the most haunted roads in England, where the brave still shudder
  • Discover chilling stories of phantom Fellows and spooky Scholars who refuse to leave their colleges behind
  • Marvel at atmospheric alleyways, secret courtyards, and centuries-old architecture—all hiding secrets you won’t find in the guidebooks

This immersive storytelling tour blends local folklore, real history, and a dash of theatrical flair for an unforgettable evening of thrills, laughter, and the occasional ghostly chill.
