We booked this experience as something different to do on a Saturday night in Keswick and it was certainly that! The ghost walk leader not only looked amazing in her Victorian costume but delivered a thoroughly engaging performance which, at an hour and a half, was excellent value. Highly recommended for adults and older children (our 13-year-old enjoyed it as much as we did).

Four of us booked on to this ghost walk, it was an entertaining insightful funny activity. The convincing 'Lady' was a pleasure to watch as she told us stories of old/new. Her comedy timing/theatrics was nothing short of an Oscar winning performance. I would definitely recommend to do this when in Keswick.

Enjoyed our experience of The Lady ghost walk in Keswick. Weather was horrendous, wind and rain but The Lady was very professional and kept going , very animated and theatrical with her story telling and most enjoyable. We all (family of 5 including a 10 yr old) had fun and certainly had a good laugh!

Excellent. Brilliant ghost host. Great fun getting everyone involved as much as possible on a very cold January night.
As an aside we were listening to a very spooky story on barrow dale road about someone buried in crypt which was scary enough. Someone even screamed here ! More scary I saw something or someone at the top of footpath. Exit was quickly made.

I have done many ghost walks around the country and I have to say this was the best and most entertaining. The guide was laugh out loud funny and the ghost stories were interesting and informative. The guide really was excellent, interacting with passers by as well as the group she was leading. She has created a character fitting to the walk and stayed in character throughout the almost 2 hour tour. If you are in Keswick I can't recommend this ghost walk highly enough. 10/10

Totally agree with the other 1 star reviews. Response from Lakeland Hauntings naturally slants to the significantly higher number of 5 star reviews.
This is not a ghost tour like you find in York, Liverpool which tell you of real past events rather an enthusiastic actress suitably dressed in Victorian clothing who made her best efforts to ‘entertain’ however our group of 4 agreed they were ramblings lacking any reality. Passers by were bemused and one clear tactic used by the actress was to engage with them to verbally advertise rather than focus on the paying participants.
If following a rambling actress is what you like paying £10 per person is your thing then book on however if you are expecting a proper ghost walk with tales of the past this is not what this tour is.
Each to their own, we left after 40 minutes having wasted our money on this.

Thank you Parko for supporting the arts by attending a Lakeland Hauntings Ghost Walk. It has been a difficult 15 months for the theatre industry and the return of our audiences is much appreciated. Thank you also for taking the time to write a review.
Theatre is a very subjective medium and there will inevitably be a few people for whom it is not to their taste. In the eight years Lakeland Hauntings has been operating, as you point out yourself, we have received “a significantly higher number of 5 star reviews". A great many of the people who have thoroughly enjoyed our Ghost Walks cite as positives many of the aspects of the performance on which you were less keen. We, therefore, have great confidence in our well researched, unique and entertaining product and are delighted that so many people are returning to Keswick and joining us on a walk.
When supporting arts organisations in the future we recommend you try to arrive on time and adhere to the terms and conditions. We are only able to operate during the pandemic because of the good will of our audience members in following the COVID guidelines which were agreed by you at the time of booking and are in line with government advice and best practice. Also, your late arrival meant you must have missed the reminder that our Ghost Walks are no smoking events although it is clearly stated on the website.
All that said we hope you had an enjoyable stay in Keswick and continue to support the arts. Stay safe and well.
The Lady.

This is an excellent way to spend an evening. Highly entertaining, ‘the lady’ stayed in character throughout, leading the group around Keswick regaling us with ghostly and humorous stories. Can’t recommend enough.

Thoroughly enjoyed our spooky evening walk with a proper energetic and original theatrical performance from lakeland hauntings. The walk lasted for around 90 minutes and was very unusual and entertaining. Left us all with big smiles on our faces. Many thanks for a terrific evening.

A great evening of ghost stories and theatrics. “The Lady” invited us to join one of “her walks” and told of strange happenings and historical horror. It lasted just over 90 mins and was enjoyable and fun. What a lovely way to spend part of your evening in Keswick.

What an excellent way to spend 90 minutes and well worth the £10 price. The Victorian Lady is not only very knowledgable on local Keswick folklore but she engaged with the audience and their dogs superbly. I would definitely recommend to anyone to book this. A very funny evening with lots of laughs.
