Halloween: Haunted Walks & Tours

Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery hosts a series of seasonal ghost walks and candlelit tours inside one of the city's most haunted buildings. Visitors can explore 500-year-old cellars, listen to tales of past encounters led by costumed guides, or venture out onto the original city centre ghost walk. Certain evening tours feature an introductory glass of wine, while daytime cellar tours utilize digital projections to uncover hidden layers of local history.
