The Stratford Ripper Experience at Creaky CauldronThe Stratford Ripper Experience at Creaky Cauldron

Join us at the Creaky Cauldron after the lights go down for some of the scariest events imaginable.

Terrifying Tales with the Master of the Macabre
every night at 6.30pm and 7.30pm

Every night of the week you can enjoy (if that's the right word!) creepy stories and terrifying tales with author, broadcaster and psychic medium Dave Mathews as he takes you on a candlelit ghost tour of the building to see what (or who) you might encounter as we step back in time to experience the building as it would have been lit in years gone by.

"The most terrifying tales I have ever heard - and they were all true!"
"The scariest ghost tour I have ever been on!"
"Psychologically terrifying!"
Expect chills, shudders and terror to strike at your very heart.


In The Footsteps of the Ripper Ghost Walk
every Night at 9.00pm

Join Stratford's Master of the Macabre for the best and most original Ghost Walk for a journey through the darker side of Stratford's history. This is the only Ghost Walk to be led by a true authority on haunted Stratford, ghost author, broadcaster and researcher Dave Matthews. This walk features good, old-fashioned storytelling at its very best, and is guaranteed to send a shiver down the spine and a chill to your very core.....

Twilight creeps through the narrow alleyways of one of the oldest and strangest market towns in England. Its ancient fingers unlock secrets of dark deeds that lie entombed behind crumbling walls. It whispers into the shadowy recesses of a forgotten part of your psyche, disturbing the sleep of the long forgotten and allows the Dead to once more stir into ghostly, ethereal life.

Stratford's scariest ghost walk begins at the Creaky Cauldron and a spine-chilling night awaits you in the company of one of England's most masterful storytellers. Often copied, but never equalled, this is THE Stratford Ghost Walk.

Encounter, in his company, secrets so marrow-chillingly sinister that you will never be sure who, or what, might be coming next, or perhaps lurking in the shadows just a few steps behind you.......


Traditional Victorian Seance
every Friday night from 9.00pm

Join us for a completely unstaged recreation of a typical Victorian Seance in the Parlour at the former White Lion Inn. Guaranteed to terrify!


Seven Degrees of Evil Ghost Hunt
every Saturday from 9.30pm

Ever fancied yourself as a ghost hunter? Then why not join us as we venture into the extraordinary world of the paranormal in what is reputed to be England's most haunted museum and visitor experience - the Creaky Cauldron!

7 hours of Ghost Hunting and Paranormal Experiments in what is reputed to be one of England's most haunted buildings, the former White Lion Inn - a building that dates back to 1541.

"I couldn't go into the room - I was so frightened - it was just pure evil!" Timmy
"I really thought the devil was stood behind me!" Ben
"I have never been so frightened - I thought he was going to attack me!" Lee
"Consistently the most haunted building we have ever investigated" OMI

Starting at 9.30pm and ending at about 4.30am this is one of the longest and the most active ghost hunts in the country! Many of the experiments featured on Most Haunted Live - the search for evil - are ones that we have been doing for years...are you brave enough to try them for yourself?

"The temperature dropped so suddenly it made me shiver and immediately before my camera batteries died, I saw this figure walk in front of me."

The evening includes:
* A welcome drink and talk
* A guided tour of the building along with an outline of it's unique history
* An introduction to the paranormal and the activities that lie ahead
* Psychic Workshops and experiments
* The amazing antique "yes/no" board and table turning
* An introduction to Psychometry & Dowsing
* Mirror scrying with astonishing results
* Watch-and-wait vigils
* And of course, a buffet supper and refreshments throughout the night

No other haunted venue looks after you like we do! With over forty separate and identified spirits - spending some time in the dark in this building is truly a terrifying event!

Taster Ghost Hunts (by arrangement - any night of the week subject to availability - minimum booking two people - from 9.30pm - 1.00am)
