Step into the shadows of Lydiard House Museum this Christmas for an evening of spine-tingling ghost stories.
Surrounded by traditional Christmas decorations, you'll hear chilling tales of spirits said to have haunted Lydiard House over the centuries.
The tradition of sharing ghost stories during the festive season dates back to ancient winter solstice celebrations. Tales of brave heroes, monstrous creatures and supernatural encounters entertained people during the long, dark winter nights.
The Victorians embraced this tradition, making ghost stories a popular part of Christmas celebrations. Their tales often explored the idea of something mysterious or frightening lurking beyond the warmth and cheer of the festive season.
Join us at Lydiard House Museum to discover this fascinating tradition and enjoy an atmospheric evening of ghostly storytelling.
