Chillingham Castle Scarefest 2025

Join us this Halloween as we visit the UK's most haunted castle! Come with us on an exclusive tour of the castle, exploring areas that aren't usually open to the public. An unforgettable experience, but one that is so scary you might not want to remember.

We'll be joined by resident historian, Richard, who knows the castle inside out, as well as a team of paranormal investigators and local spiritualist and medium, Stephen Crawford. They bring with them years of experience and expertise as well as a range of paranormal investigative equipment for us to use to make contact to the other side...

Located in Northumberland, Chillingham Castle is brimming with gruesome history and is home to a whole host of ghosts and spirits, some friendly and others not so friendly.... from the Blue Boy and Lady Mary Berkely, to perhaps the most notorious, John Sage, otherwise known as 'Butcher of the Scots'.

Over the years we've experienced things we can't explain, from swinging chandeliers to bangs and crashes, doors being slammed shut and swung open, as well as taps on the shoulder, chills and shivers down our spines.
