[Tonight!] Ghosts of Fleet Street Halloween Special

We don’t usually include things happening on a Thursday but we’ll make an exception for this crazy Halloween walking tour!

Dive deep into the fascinating, gritty history of London’s legendary “Street of Ink.” Starting at Stationers’ Hall, the tour takes you on a theatrical journey through 600 years of printing, bribery, and boozy tales. Along the way, you’ll meet colorful characters like the eccentric Wynkyn de Worde, ghostly journalists, and Hodge the Cat. With actors, musicians, and a taste of “blood wine,” this tour breathes life into Fleet Street’s rich past, giving you a peek into the bygone era when it was the heart of London’s media world.

Step onto this historic ship and hear thrilling tales from the darker side of history, complete with pirates, battles, and eerie legends. It’s an engaging way to experience life at sea in the past, perfect for kids and adults who love a good, spine-tingling story.
