Dark Chester shines a flickering candlelight into the darkest corners of Chester’s dark-tourism heritage.
You may have already seen us walking around Chester, or previously joined us for a walk through the mists of dark history.
But now it’s time to explore the city afresh. And, what’s more, we’re going even darker.
For Halloween this year, we’ll be leading the darkest ever Dark Chester walking tour, bringing a frisson of Gothic noir to your October half term.
Expect new spooky stories, frightening folk tales and new perspectives as the darkness of the winter months engulfs us.
Plus, join us for an exclusive one-off event on Thursday, October 26 for Halloween 2023.
* Dark Chester presents: Dark Dinner *
We will lead a 90-minute Dark Chester tour, departing from Town Hall Square at 6pm. Then we finish our walk on Lower Bridge Street for a two-course menu served at King’s Kitchen restaurant at The Brewery Tap from 7.30pm.
Expect good food, craft ales and, over dinner, some spine-chilling ghost stories recounted by the tour leader in a gloriously atmospheric setting.
Tickets cost £45pp and are available now via the Visitor Information Centre in Chester, or by calling 01244 405340.
The route can be fully accessible for visitors with more limited mobility and the tour is suitable for ages 10+.
Join us this Halloween and let’s take a walk on the darkest side ever.
