Bury St Edmunds Ghost Tours

Murder, executions, plague, riots, witchcraft and sightings of ghostly figures, the Bury St Edmunds Tour Guides take you on a 90-minute journey around haunted Bury St Edmunds.

As you wind your way around the darkened streets there will be stories of screaming skulls, mysterious ‘monk’ like figures appearing in cellars, burnings, hangings and more, finishing up in the dark and deserted Great Churchyard where the tour guides will recall the stories from the Abbey and the famous Grey Lady.

Bury St Edmunds Tour Guides are a highly-trained team who have earned the right to wear the coveted Blue Badge or Green Badge symbols of tour guiding excellence.

Numbers are restricted to 20 guests per guide - perfect to hear the stories close up and maybe experience something out of the ordinary ...

Due to the content of the tour, participants must be aged 14 years or over.

The Ghostly and Macabre Tour runs from Halloween on October 31st to the end of March. Visit the website for dates, cost and how to book.
