Tickets on sale from tomorrow afternoon May 24th. The Mystery Tours: The Great Fire of Northampton – 1675

Step Into the Flames of History!

Guided by our enigmatic Time Traveller, you’ll witness the unfolding disaster, hear the tales of survival, and see how the town rose from the ashes.

🔥 Tour Highlights 🔥

📍 St. Mary’s Street

Stand at the very spot where the fire began and discover how a single flame in a thatched house led to devastation.

📍 Market Square

Hear the dramatic accounts of desperate townsfolk, the crumbling of historic buildings, and the narrow escapes from the inferno.

📍 All Saints’ Church

See how this iconic landmark rose from the ashes, thanks to King Charles II’s donation of timber.

Great review just in from our October Ghost Tour around The Guildhall! Join us on March 2nd at 5pm for ‘Hidden Secrets’ www.themysterytours.com. No better time than Halloween for the time traveller to summon spooky spirits to recount their tales of terror & no better a venue than Northampton’s gothically wonderful Guildhall. The walls of this grand & magnificent building talked on this dark & spooky night & what they told through the time traveller’s voice were stories of murder & the ultimate retribution for those condemned. The experience of hearing the tales of those lost & treading the steps of the guilty through courtrooms, chambers & cells was full of suspense & shivers down your spine (or was it ghostly fingertips?!) & as always in the mystery tour experience, packed full of facts & knowledge & everything you never knew that you needed to know. Prepare yourselves for ghosties & ghoulies & long-legged beasties & things that go bump in the night as well as an appearance from everyone’s favourite health & safety representative Dave! Do you dare?……….
