Would you like to join the Ripon Ghost Walk storytellers?

Do you believe in ghosts? Ripon Ghost Walks return this month with more tales to tell about the spooky side of the city.

The performers have been out of action since the pandemic hit, but this month they will dust off their dark robes and get ready to resume the guided tours.

The outdoor walks begin at 7.15pm in the Market Place and last around 90 minutes.

Audiences are taking around the city to explore ancient burial sites, curious bone finds and meet those who lived in the city years ago.

Ghost Walk performer Tony Hirst said:

“It’s great to be back again, we were really keen to get going again. We’ve got lots of stories to tell with a few frights along the way.”

People must now pre-book tickets for the shows so numbers can be managed.

Six dates are planned for this year with the first taking place on June 24. There will be special events on August 12 for the Museums at Night event and others at Halloween and Christmas time.

The walks were set up in 2015 and later joined with the Ripon Museums to offer more history for the audiences.

The performers are looking for an extra person to join their team. If you have a passion for spooky storytelling and want to get involved, email Tony Hirst on [email protected].
