After Hours Tour at Arnos Vale Cemetery on Friday 27th April 2018
Posted on: 25 Apr 2018
Fans of the spooktacular and those of a slightly morbid disposition will be in their supernatural element when Arnos Vale Cemetery holds its After Hours Tour on Friday 27th April 2018.
Navigating the paths festooned with creeping, dangling vines; stepping into the eerie mortuary crypt; discovering the truth about Victoria funeral traditions; sliding the coffin lid off the real facts about burial practices, and spooky tales from beyond the grave. Yep, it's all part of this chillingly delightful evening tour of the darkly beautiful and mysterious Necropolis.
Crammed full of interesting facts and stories about the history behind the graves and the cemetery itself, it's an blood-curdling, immersive, educational treat and, let's be honest, something refreshingly and quirkily different to do with your Friday night.
Due to the unpredictably uneven nature of the site - including steps, steep slopes, uneven and muddy paths - it's highly recommended you wear sensible shoes and warm clothes. As the tour also takes place at night, it's probably wise to pack a torch too.
And don't worry if you miss your chance to take a trek around the cemetery with its goosebump-inducing stories of the grisly and macabre, other After Hours tours will take place on 11th and 25th May.
After Hours tours are always extremely popular for the city's ghoulishly-inclined incumbents and this event is expected to sell out, so it's advisable you get your bony digits in action and book your tickets - which cost £10 each - here.
Arnos Vale Cemetery is located at Bath Road, Bristol, BS4 3EW. Tel. 0117 9719117
