Brighton Ghost Walk
by admin on Aug.06, 2009, under Site News, WHC 2010
For those attendees who are looking for something a little bit different or are interested in exploring the darker history of Brighton, then we have arranged an exclusive GHOST WALK OF THE LANES--Brighton's Most Haunted Quarter--on the THURSDAY and SUNDAY evenings of the convention. Conducted by actor and storyteller Rob Marks in the guise of Silas the Ghost Hunter, splendiferously attired in full Victorian costume, THE GHOST WALK OF THE LANES is more of a street theatre event than a mere guided walk.
