Ghost Walk: Spice Island
Friday 27June 9.30pm
Square Tower, Spice Island, Old Portsmouth
Possibly the most haunted city on the
South Coast, Portsmouth has a dark history
of murder, mayhem, plotting and politics.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the
old quarter of the city - a place known as
Spice Island - the gateway to Europe. The tour brings to life
drink-sodden sailors staggering through
crooked alleyways searching the pleasure
of ‘respectable’ ladies of the night. From
the first terrorists to the murder of nobility,
the dark streets of Old Portsmouth have
witnessed the ‘comings and goings’ of
countless historic figures. Stick close to
your guides as they take you deep into the
900 years of maritime history and bring
you face to face with some of
these characters.
Your costumed tour guide will collect those brave enough from outside the Square Tower for a late night walk at 9.30pm, lasting approximately 90 minutes.
The tour will take place whatever the weather - so please bring suitable clothing.
Places are limited so booking is essential - Ghost Walk tickets
