This Shiverpool ghost tour experience is a brilliantly theatrical way to explore Liverpool’s darker side, from haunted streets and hidden cemeteries to secret corners, grisly stories and seriously dramatic history.
Shiverpool’s company mantra is “We Scare Because We Care”, which tells guests almost everything they need to know. These are not dry history tours with a clipboard and sensible shoes. Expect spine-tingling storytelling, theatrical performance, local legends, gallows humour and a proper sense of Liverpool’s strange, spooky and fascinating past.
Recognised by Visit Liverpool as trailblazers in the city’s tourism scene, Shiverpool creates inventive, immersive guided tours that bring together history, performance and plenty of eerie atmosphere. The company also works with emerging artists across performing arts, creative writing, theatrical make-up, film and design, helping to keep the experience fresh, creative and full of personality.
Liverpool has more than a few tales to tell. With grand architecture, old slums, secret streets, haunted pubs, cemeteries and stories of poverty, plague, death and scandal, the city offers the perfect backdrop for a ghostly adventure. Guests can choose one Shiverpool tour from the options available, each offering a different glimpse into Liverpool’s grisly past.
The Hope Street Shivers Tour takes guests along one of the most haunted streets in the North West, sharing tales of Liverpool’s famous ghosts, sinister souls and unsettling history. The route ends at the awe-inspiring Gothic Anglican Cathedral, with both of Liverpool’s magnificent cathedrals adding suitably dramatic scenery along the way.
The Auld City Tour explores Liverpool’s history through the ages, from the misery of the medieval period to the stark contrasts of Victorian life. Guests will discover the city’s Commercial District, secret streets, stories of slavery, plague, cholera and poverty, and even journey 40 feet beneath the streets into the underbelly of old Liverpool.
The Secret Garden Cemetery Shivers Tour explores the hidden stories of St James’s Cemetery Garden, beginning in Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter outside the famously haunted Philharmonic pub. Surrounded by the former hospitals, asylums, workhouses and Victorian children’s homes once served by the Necropolis, guests will uncover stories of death, legacy, love, hope and the people who helped shape Liverpool’s past.
Atmospheric, entertaining and just the right amount of unsettling, this Liverpool ghost tour experience makes a brilliant gift for history lovers, theatre fans, curious locals, visitors and anyone who enjoys their sightseeing with a side order of shivers.
