What can you get up to this Halloween at the Old Royal Naval College? Well, the site has a long history, so it’s a place rich with tales of haunted happenings and spooky sightings. With this in mind, ghost tours are high on the agenda this year.
You can delve into regions dark and unexplored with ghoulish guides on a special Halloween Supper and Ghost Tour on 29th and 30th October.

This event invites you to meet the 19th century Captain Sir John Franklin. He’ll regale you with stories about his long lost expedition through the Arctic. What was the fate of the ships HMS Terror and HMS Erebus? Go dressed as sailors and follow the spooky clues left by the missing crew members. Then, write your own story about what happened to their icy adventure.
