Ghost Hunt at Fort Burgoyne (October)
Venue: Fort Burgoyne
Location: Dover, Kent
Date: 2nd October 2026
Time: 8:00pm until 2:00am
Tickets: £47 Per Person
Fort Burgoyne in Dover, Kent was originally known as Castle Hill Fort. Work started in 1861 and it was complete in 1868 as one of the Palmerston forts surrounding the South of England.
It was built to a polygonal system with detached eastern and western redoubts with a surrounding ditch, flanked by three demi-caponniers and a double caponnier to the North. Two detached wing batteries to the East and West of the main fort were also constructed in spurs off the main ditch. The main fort comprised a large parade ground, to the North of which was a long row of casemates, which provided the barrack accommodation for soldiers and officers. Above the casemates, on the terreplein, were Haxo Casemates, which housed the guns.
This was to guard the high ground northeast of the strategic port of Dover, just north of Dover Castle.
The fort is named after the 19th century General John Fox Burgoyne.
After the First World War Fort Burgoyne was used as military depot or store for Connaught Barracks. Until recently the central part of the fort was still owned by the Ministry of Defence, forming part of the Connaught Barracks site.
There were two mysterious deaths in February 1887, two men died for no known reason.

Venue: British Schools Museum
Location: Hitchin, Hertfordshire
Date: 3rd October 2026
Time: 8:00pm until 2:00am
Tickets: £50 Per Person
Check Car Parking
The British Schools Museum is in original Edwardian and Victorian school buildings in Hitchin in Hertfordshire, England. The museum complex is made up of school buildings housing infants, girls and boys schools with houses for Master and Mistress. It includes a monitorial schoolroom based on the educational theories of Joseph Lancaster for 300 boys, which opened in 1837, and a rare galleried classroom, dating from 1853.
The first school on the site was a schoolroom for 200 boys and 100 girls. It was founded in 1810 by local lawyer William Wilshere in a disused malthouse. This schoolroom was the first monitorial school for the sons of the poor in Hertfordshire. Teaching was based on Joseph Lancaster's methods of monitorial teaching. He developed a system in which large numbers of younger scholars could be taught by older scholars under the supervision of the master (for boys) or mistress (for girls). This method continued until the Revised Code of 1862 that brought in the Pupil Teacher method of teaching.
The school grew steadily and to such an extent that in 1837 a new schoolroom was built that could hold 300 boys. This was completed in 1838.
In 1857, it was decided by the School's Board of Trustees to completely rebuild the Girls' and Infants' School. The new building was completed in 1858 together with adjoining houses for the Master and Mistress.
It remained as a school until 1969.
Ghostly Activity includes full body apparitions, loud footsteps and crying voices.

Ghost Hunt at Fort Horsted (October)
Venue: Fort Horsted
Location: Chatham, Kent
Date: 9th October 2026
Time: 8:00pm until 2:00am
Tickets: £47 Per Person
Fort Horsted was the largest of the five forts designed to defend Chatham's eastern and southern approaches. Many changes were made to the original design of Horsted since its inception in the 1860's. Most noticeably Fort Horsted does not have caponiers or other exposed external features clearly visible in earlier works such as the Drop Redoubt in Dover. This was due to the development of high explosive shells in the intervening period between the 1860's and the eventual construction some twenty years later. Fort Horsted was finished by 1889, but never received the full compliment of armament she was designed for. In 1902 Fort Horsted was mounted with seven machine guns. In the Second World War AA guns were mounted at the Fort.

Tickets: £44 Per Person
Check Car Parking
Woodbridge Tide Mill in Suffolk was one of the first tide mills in the country, and was unquestionably the last one working – operating for well over 800 years.
The earliest record of a tide mill on this site by the River Deben is in 1170.
In 1793 the present mill was built on the site of earlier ones. By the 1950s it had become the last working tide mill in the country, but in 1957 finally closed. It was saved in 1968, restored and opened to the public in 1973.
Will you hear the cries of William Bacon, a mill worker, 29 years old who suffocated to death on 6th December 1870?

Ghost Hunt at Hooke Court (October)
Venue: Hooke Court
Location: Beaminster, Dorset
Date: 10th October 2026
Time: 8:00pm until 2:00am
Tickets: £42 Per Person
Hooke Court in Beaminster, Dorset is a 17th-century manor house built around the time of the English Civil War.
In the Civil War it was damaged by fire by Roundheads but repaired in 1647 by the Duke of Bolton. There had previously been medieval buildings on the site. In 2007 it was featured on the television series Time Team as they investigated the medieval buildings.
Hooke Court was previously a boarding school for boys with educational, emotional or behavioural problems, from 1946 to 1992.
Ghostly activity
Staff have claimed to have seen shadow figures in the corridors, ghost of the 'white lady', cold blasts and doors mysteriously opening by themselves. Disembodied voices and footsteps have been heard - could these be former family members who lived at Hooke Court, or boys from when Hooke Court was a school?
The most unnerving tale is that of a young woman believed to have died tragically on the grounds - her sobs are often heard near the old well, and shadowy figures have been captured moving between the trees outside. Ghosts of civil war soldiers have also been seen.

Once the home of Augustinian monks, this medieval moat has records from 1229, when Gilbert de Aquila built it.
The priory was seized in 1537, following its dissolution, the land and its buildings were given to King Henry's fourth wife, Anne of Cleeves.
During the early part of World War II, it was used as a base for Canadian troops preparing for the Dieppe Raid in August 1942.
Mrs R.H. Hotblack purchased the priory in 1959 to preserve it for future generations to enjoy and gave the land and its buildings in trust to the Sussex Archaeological Society, who continue as owners.
Ghostly Activity
Many ghosts have been reported here including; Thomas Sackville, once an owner and still haunts the halls to this day, tormenting the spirit of a young girl called Rosie. She is reported to hide in the wood panelling at the top of the stairs to stay clear of her tormentor.
There is also the Grey Lady, who has been seen by the bridge and the gatehouse on many occasions. A black hooded monk in the undercroft, a young boy in the kitchens, a maid in the hall, and a lady dressed in Tudor clothing walking the corridors.
During a ghost hunt here in 2008, which some of our current team were present, a stone was thrown during a séance as well as the sound of spitting.

Venue: Harwich Redoubt Fort
Location: Harwich, Essex
Date: 17th October 2026
Time: 8:00pm until 2:00am
Tickets: £47 Per Person
Harwich Redoubt Fort in Harwich, Essex was constructed between 1808 and 1810 to protect the port of Harwich against the threat of Napoleonic invasion. The fort was constructed on a hill, which allowed views in all directions.
French prisoners of war were made to help construct the fort. The fort has a central parade ground. It was originally armed with ten 24 pounder cannons. In 1861 a 68 pounder cannon was added to the fort's weapon range.
Later in 1903 three 12 pounder QF guns were added to the fort. Despite the ongoing modernisation no shot was fired in force. In the 1920s the redoubt was falling into disrepair. The fort was briefly used during the Second World War to house British troops awaiting trial. Restoration started in 1969 and still continues today.
Ghostly Activity
Witnesses have reportedly seen apparitions through the windows and heard unexplained footsteps. Many visitors to the fort have also reported being touched by unseen hands in the lower casements. There have also been many other mysterious noises and apparitions seen by visitors.
The fort is well known for the apparition of a headless soldier. In 1972 a soldier was decapitated by a cable attached to a 12 ton cannon which broke under the strain. It is rumoured that this soldier now roams the fort.

Christchurch Mansion in Ipswich, Suffolk is a beautiful Tudor mansion with over 500 years of history. Christchurch Mansion is built on the site of the Holy Trinity Priory, founded in the 12th century.
In 1894 the mansion was bought by Felix Cobbold from a syndicate of property developments to save the building from demolition. Cobbold, a wealthy local businessman and philanthropist, then offered to give it to the Ipswich Corporation to establish a Museum and Art Gallery. His offer was on condition that the Corporation buy the surrounding parkland for the people of Ipswich. It took Cobbold three attempts to get the corporation to agree to this, but in February 1895 the mansion was transferred to the town and in April 1895 the Corporation purchased the central part of the park. The corporation acquired the Upper Arboretum in 1928.
Ghostly activity
One of the most commonly sighted ghosts is a young Edwardian lady who is seen dancing and laughing in the upper picture gallery of Christchurch Mansion. Often she is said to be accompanied by a couple of happy children.
There is also another female spirit that is seen downstairs in the mansion. Many a visitor has been shocked when the apparition of a lady in grey suddenly appears and swishes right by them in a full-length gown.
It is believed that the young lady passed away in the house under mysterious circumstances!
In 1995, there were reports of paintings turning themselves round on the wall and a Victorian woman seen moving through glass doors!

Ghost Hunt at Old Anglo Brewery (Halloween)
Venue: Old Anglo Brewery
Location: Shepton Mallet, Somerset
Date: 31st October 2026
Time: 8:00pm until 2:00am
Tickets: £55 Per Person
Check Car Parking
The Old Anglo Brewery in Shepton Mallet, Somerset was built in 1864. During the construction workers discovered Roman pottery kilns and Severn Valley Ware from the 1st or 2nd century AD on the site, proving the location was an industrial hub over 1,800 years ago.
In 1872, the brewery was renamed the "Anglo-Bavarian Brewery" and employed specialized brewers from Bavaria to create a German-style lager, a product largely unknown in Britain at the time.
The brewery was incredibly successful, exporting 1.8 million bottles of beer annually across the British Empire. However During World War I, the inclusion of "Bavarian" on their bottles made them unpatriotic, leading to the brewery's eventual downfall in 1921.
Between 1868 and 1921, the brewery actually operated its own fire brigade, which served the entire town of Shepton Mallet. They notably helped fight the 1904 fire at the famous Shepton Mallet Prison.
In 1939, the Air Ministry requisitioned the site and removed and destroyed much of the industrial machinery and copper vats and melted down for scrap metal to support the war effort.
Ghostly Activity
Disembodied voices and footsteps have been heard echoing through the corridors as well as staff feeling that they are not alone and are being watched!
