January jitters at Kenilworth Castle's Fright Night
Friday 20 January 2012
The winter wind blowing through the crumbling masonry can sometimes sound like ghostly moaning, so what better place is there to face your fears than at Kenilworth Castle which is hosting its January ghost walk on Friday 20 January?
Small groups of intrepid explorers will face the darkness, as they join local ghost tour experts, A Walk on the Dark Side, for a visit to England’s largest ruined castle that they will never forget. The tour takes place at 8.00pm and will explore some of Warwickshire’s most disturbing stories of ghosts, spectres and serial killers!
“The best horror movies are the ones which really get inside your head – where it is the viewer’s imagination rather than gore that causes the adrenaline to really flow, and that is exactly what happens to the participants on these tours,” comments English Heritage’s regional events manager, Karen Pike. “Everyone knows that they will make it home at the end of the evening, but we’ll make the very best use of the atmospheric dark castle ruins and the scariest stories to give our guests an evening to remember... ”
The tour starts at 8.00pm and lasts around an hour, including a warming cup of soup at the end to help participants recover from the chills that will run down their spines!
Tickets are £20.00 per person (£16.00 for English Heritage members) and should be pre-booked by calling 0870 333 1183. Please note that this tour is unsuitable for under 16s and those of a nervous disposition. Participants are advised to wear clothing suitable to all weather conditions, and stout boots, as the ground can be uneven in places.
