Christmas Ghost Stories

Thursday 10 December 2026, Llanthony Secunda Priory, Gloucester

For the Victorians, Christmas Eve was the night for ghost stories, told by the fire while the wind got up outside. We are reviving the tradition in one of Gloucester’s oldest buildings: the medieval priory of Llanthony Secunda, beside the docks.

Storyteller Tony Walker of Classic Ghost Stories will read three tales in the Victorian tradition, each in full, with an interval for the bar. The priory has ghosts of its own: read The Lady at the Gate and The Lovely Lady before you come.

The evening

6.45pm

Doors open. Mulled wine and a mince pie, included in your ticket.

7.15pm

The first tale.

8.00pm

Interval. The bar is open.

8.20pm

The second and third tales.

9.20pm

The evening ends.

Tickets

Tickets are £21 and include mulled wine and a mince pie on arrival. There are 90 seats. The evening is for adults only (18 and over).

If you can’t come, you can transfer your ticket to someone else free of charge, but please don’t resell it for more than you paid. If the evening has to be postponed, your ticket will move to the new date, or you can ask for a refund.
