Brighton Ghost Walk of the Lanes

Led by costumed storytellers in full Victorian attire carrying Gladstone bags, visitors embark on a walking tour through Brighton's oldest quarter. The route explores narrow passages and tightly packed historic buildings while stopping at eight haunted sites, including Brighton Town Hall, Black Lion Lane, and historic taverns. Along the way, guides recount macabre local history featuring brutal murders, poltergeists, apparitions, wandering nuns, and Jack-the-Ripper connections.
