About

Join Becki of Ghosts & Giggles and her team for a ghost investigation into our 500-year-old historic buildings on Westgate Street. Formerly home to The Folk Museum, then owned and lovingly refurbished by The Civic Trust, The Folk of Gloucester is now a thriving heritage community centre.

We'll explore this local legend and its history, including previous owners who refuse to move on, and discover their stories and their attachments to the buildings. Great for novices and pro ghost hunters alike, Becki and her team will be on hand to guide you along the way, exploring the building and even taking in St Nicholas Church directly opposite The Folk – no longer used as a church but as an event space.

Please make sure you wear appropriate footwear. Tea and coffee will be provided. For those pro investigators who would like to go around on your own, please let one of the team or Becki herself know and you'll be accommodated.
