Ever wondered what happens in the ancient ruins of Netley Abbey once the sun goes down? Have you ever wanted to listen to chilling ghost stories in the pitch black, standing in the exact spot that made them legendary? Or perhaps you’ve hoped for a few quiet moments in the dark to see if you can have your own paranormal experience, or even capture something unexplained on camera?

Step past the velvet darkness of the tree line and join us for an exclusive, 1.5-hour immersive ghost tour that blends centuries of history, terrifying local legends, and hands-on paranormal exploration.

Netley Abbey is renowned for its romantic, sprawling 13th-century ruins, but its history is steeped in darker tales of betrayal, hidden treasure, and restless spirits. Our expert guides will lead you through the towering, roofless architecture beneath the night sky, bringing the abbey's deepest secrets back to life.

The History: Uncover the true, turbulent past of the Cistercian monks who once called this abbey home, and the dramatic events following the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

The Legends: Hear the spine-tingling tales that have echoed through these stone walls for generations. From the spectral monks still walking their twilight vigils to the curse of the abbey's hidden treasure, you'll hear the stories exactly where they were born.

The Investigation: This isn't just a storytelling tour. You will be given time to explore the atmosphere yourself. Bring your cameras, your audio recorders, and your courage. Whether you are a seasoned paranormal investigator or a curious sceptic, you'll have the chance to see what waits for you in the shadows.
