Basing House has a great activity for teenagers and adults, not suitable for young children. With such a rich history, this unique attraction is hosting a series of Ghost Walks.

Enjoy hot chocolate and tempting treats in the Tudor Great Barn before you go hunting for ghosts in the grounds with our expert guide in all things supernatural!

Boasting a rich history, from a Saxon warlord, to the infamous Tudors to the Victorian canal diggers and not forgetting the brutal fighting during the English Civil War you are bound to discover more than a ghost or two. With so many dark histories to discover will you be brave enough to dare the dark tunnel at the end?

These haunting walks will run from Wednesday 28 October to Sunday 1 November at 5pm, 6.30pm and 8pm. Booking is essential as places are strictly limited to six people a walk as part of COVID-19 precautions. Tickets cost £13 per person.
