Guided Walk: Shipston Dark Tales

Witches, murders and a headless ghost on Shipston Bridge

Join museum trustee Stephen Hartley for a 1.5-mile guided walk through the darker stories of old Shipston on All Hallows' Eve. An earlier society preview named witches, ghosts, murders and poltergeists, including a headless ghost linked to Shipston Bridge.

The walk lasts about 90 minutes and finishes at the Grade II listed Black Horse Inn on Station Road. The earlier preview called the route gentle, but the current listing gives no accessibility statement or full route map.

Under-16s must attend with a parent or legal guardian, and well-behaved dogs are welcome on a short fixed lead. Free parking is listed in West Street, Mill Street and Bridge Car Park.

Ticketed.
