Secret Garden Cemetery Shivers Tour

A ghostly tour of Liverpool's St James' Necropolis, The Secret Garden Cemetery

Your spooky Secret Garden Cemetery Shivers Tour starts outside Liverpool’s most famously haunted hostelry – The Philharmonic Pub. Join your guide and get the lowdown on the neighbourhood that envelops the Dormitory of the Dead, St James' Cemetery, including the former hospitals, asylums, workhouses and children's homes once served by the Necropolis. You'll get ghostly tales and gruesome fables, plus the gory stories surrounding many public health crises of times-gone-by. Feel the otherworldly soul of St. James’ Cemetery Gardens after dark, where nearly 58,000 of Liverpool's great and good are entombed. Marvel at the impressive mausoleums and shrines, including that of William Huskisson – the first victim to fall beneath the grinding might of a locomotive train. Rumour has it, he still haunts the cemetery today.
