Calling all ghostbusters in training! Join us on a special one-hour twilight tour of the ground floor of Old Government House.
About this Event

Hear stories of spooky happenings experienced by volunteers, staff and guests on this special candlelit ghost tour of Old Government House.

During this tour we tell age-appropriate stories and antidotes about eerie incidents and spooky sightings while walking through the ground floor, lit by faux candlelight. Your expert guide will demonstrate the “ghost meters” and then together you will explore the house to learn about its heritage in a truly unique way. Children are encouraged to bring their scariest costumes along to add to the atmosphere of the event.

Young guests will visit the School Room where there is a story of a young girl crying. They will hear about the first documented UFO sighting in Australia in Parramatta Park. We will tell stories of the spooky happenings on the staircase. Why did a cupboard door open by itself during a previous tour? What did a modern Governor of NSW see in the bedroom? And who disturbed the early Governors bed? Who is the Lady in Blue seen around the Corridors?

The timing of the tour has been selected to allow guests to continue their evening with dining at one of the many restaurants in Parramatta.

We ask that photography is kept to the exterior of the house (we don’t want to scare the ghosts!).

Please note:

  • This event is for children/teens between the ages of 9 -15.
  • Children/teens must be accompanied by an adult.
  • There will be at least two members of the Friends of Old Government House with you on the tour to answer any questions.
