City Centre Ghost Walk

The now legendary City Centre Ghostwalk takes you around Derby City Centre and is recommended for all would-be ghosthunters.

This walk starts and finishes at The Tudor Room behind the Old Bell, and includes a trip upstairs into "Room 29", scene of many hauntings over the years, in particular the apparition of a Serving Wench, murdered many years ago.

The story unfolds when you approach the site of Derby's first jail, a place of incarceration for Witches, Heretics and Traitors. Lock-up yard, the scene of the brutal murder of a policeman P.C. Moss in 1879 is visited next, where his ghost is said to wander around the fish market as it is now. A moments reprieve permits the ghost-hunters to partake in fluid refreshments in the Tiger Bar, in preparation for the subterranean trip down into the barrel-vaulted tunnels beneath the Guild Hall, reputedly haunted by the ghost of a 12 year old little boy, first seen in 1975 when workmen were working on the site.

The story continues as you head across the Market Place, eventually ending the first leg of the tour at Jorrock's, officially the most haunted pub in Derbyshire, and home to what is believed to be a skull dating back to viking times. Onto the Cathedral, the Shire Hall. (scene of a horrendous pressing to death in 1665) and the last sentencing of hanging, drawing and quartering in England in 1817, before returning to Room 29 of the Bell and finishing in the Tudor Room behind the Bell for your Ghosthunter's Supper, (that is for those of you that return!)
