GUIDED WALKING TOURS.
This Halloween, forget the ghosts…
There are darker things hiding in Stratford-upon-Avon.
And they really happened.
As the sun goes down, join The Twisted Tales and step into the true, unsettling history of Shakespeare's town.
These aren't made-up ghost stories or spooky legends. Our tales are carefully researched and historically documented, revealing real people, real places and real events.
And this is what makes The Twisted Tales different.
We don't create the horror. We uncover it.
Every story is grounded in evidence. Every location has a connection. Every tale reveals another layer of Stratford's past — one that most visitors never see.
This Halloween, experience Stratford after dark as you've never experienced it before.
Step into the real history of Stratford-upon-Avon.
