Hallowe'en Ghost walk
30th & 31st October, 19.30
On the surface Brixham is a charming fishing village in South Devon. Look deeper however, and you'll be spellbound with its rich and powerful history where man has lived since the Ice Age. Naturally Brixham is crammed with ghostly tales, spooky stories and paranormal activity. Reputed to be one of the most haunted places in Britain, it was the subject of a Most Haunted Live investigation weekend in March, 2005.
    Join Deadly David, Matilda Balm, Madame Noir and Treacherous Tracy whatever the weather for a journey into Brixham's darker side.
    There are two Halloween Ghost Walks this year on 30 and 31 October. They both start at the William of Orange statue on the harbour front with the children's walk starting at 6pm and lasting approximately 1 hour. The adult walk starts at 7.30pm and lasts for approximately 90 minutes. The walks are on predominantly level ground and can easily be adjusted to cater for pushchairs and wheelchairs.
Meet at The William of Orange Statue
Brixham Harbour, Brixham
