A Halloween History Tour at St Augustine's Abbey

LOCATION

St Augustine's Abbey 

SUITABLE FOR

Adults

Step into the twilight on Saturday 31 October (Halloween) and Sunday 1 November (All Saints Day) and uncover centuries of stories that linger within St Augustine’s Abbey.

On this one-hour guided tour, gentle whispers of the past and long-forgotten tales bring history to life, with just a touch of Halloween mystery.

As the evening light fades, your journey ends atop the Campanile Mound, offering sweeping views of the abbey… and perhaps a glimpse of its ghostly past.

Arrive from 3.30pm to wander the museum, browse the shop, or make use of the facilities before the tour begins at 4pm.

Please wear suitable footwear for uneven paths.

This event is suitable for ages 12+.
