As darkness falls, Oxford’s haunted history stirs to life! Follow your guide through the oldest parts of the medieval city, uncovering Oxford's grim and gruesome past.

From the Martyrs Cross, where bishops burned alive in the reign of Bloody Mary, wander down shadowy streets to Dead Man's Walk, where a spectral soldier guards the city's walls for eternity. Hear of murders and executions, phantoms and spirits, ancient libraries and unsolved mysteries — and the real history behind them!

See and learn where Oxford's brooding, moonlit architecture has inspired generations of storytellers like JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, and Oscar Wilde, and hosted depictions of Hamlet and Harry Potter. Your guide may even reveal their own eerie experiences on the cobbles of Oxford's most haunted street... if they’re sure the poltergeist isn’t listening!

Join us — and the ghosts of centuries past — for a tour of Oxford's macabre history, fantasy heritage, and sinister tales that will haunt your imagination...
