A Night of Hauntings, History… and an Optional Hour Alone in the Dark
About this Event

Join us for an intimate, after-hours paranormal evening inside Coventry’s second-oldest pub, where four centuries of stories, sightings, and strange occurrences have built one of the city’s most intriguing hauntings.

Across this immersive event, you’ll work with our team of investigators as we explore the building using a mix of traditional ghost-hunting methods and experimental techniques. Expect atmospheric rooms, authentic equipment, unusual activity, and a building with plenty of personality of its own.

But this night offers something extra…
something not found in standard paranormal events.



THE SOLO BASEMENT VIGIL

As part of the experience, each guest will have the chance to spend some time alone in the Golden Cross’s secluded, centuries-old basement.
No groups.
No guides.
Just you, a torch, a camera, live 360 cameras, and the quiet, heavy darkness beneath the pub.

While one participant takes their private vigil, the others will remain upstairs, continuing a range of structured paranormal experiments designed to test the building, the environment, and the guests themselves. Every vigil influences the energy of the night, and no two experiences unfold the same way.
