The Lives and Deaths at Newstead Abbey

From artefacts to ghost-story evenings, Byron is just the beginning of what this mysterious place has to offer. Buckle up for a history lesson that’s stranger than fiction...

Paranormal Activity in Nottingham: Haunted Antiques, Thrill Engineers and a Creepy Door in Mapperley
Sat 06 Oct 2018As with all good ghost stories, it happened on a dark and stormy night in Mapperley. Actually, the weather on the night of Friday 6 June 2018 was fairly standard for that time of year; balmy, with a light breeze rustling through the detritus of shopping receipts and discarded plastic carrier bags from the nearby Aldi. However, in this otherwise unassuming neighbourhood in central Nottingham, something truly strange was afoot; something that would go on to blur the lines between fact and fiction, education and entertainment, and perhaps even the living and the dead.
