Chester Ghost Tours restart their Thursday departures on 3rd September in addition to their Friday and Saturday walks. The Thursday departures will take place every week until the end of November. They leave the Town Hall Square at 7.30pm and last 90 minutes.
We have been providing an evening of fun and phantoms for over 40 years and know the very places to showcase the city's haunted heritage.
We don't use any gimmicks. We never fake things. Our customers do report strange sightings and unusual paranormal events that we cannot explain.
We will shortly be adding our Halloween tours to our website www.ghostcity.co.uk , where you can book online. The Visitor Information Centre also provide tickets Tel: 01244 405340

Have you heard about plans to change the rules on where you can get married in England in Wales? The proposed changes would make the rules closer to those in Scotland, where you can have a legally recognised ceremony almost anywhere.💍👰

We already host receptions, symbolic ceremonies, and cruises to the church in Eccleston, but currently you can't get married onboard.

So the important question is... Who's going to be the first couple to legally tie the knot onboard the Lady Di?! ⛴️
