Brilliant experience. Far more "fun" and "entertaining" than scary, but if that's your thing you'll have a blast. "The Lady" played her part fantastically, never breaking character and filling time between stories with anecdotes and mini stories of her death, etc. 100% recommended

We decided to book as there were limited evening entertainment options due to the pandemic restrictions. The lady was an amazing actress, her interaction with passers-by was hilarious and we found her stories interesting. The atmosphere would’ve been spookier if it was dark but despite this we found it good value for money and an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.

Thank you Sadie for your support at this difficult time for small theatre companies; it is very much appreciated. Thank you too for your kind words. We're really pleased you enjoyed yourselves and if you are in Cumbria during the darker months perhaps you could join us on a Cockermouth walk. The Lady

Wow.. we are so so impressed. We booked onto the Keswick ghost walk and enjoyed it and would say it is a must do Lake District experience! We were the only 2 to book tickets for a cold December Thursday evening tour and it meant a great deal to us that the Lakeland haunted lady (didn’t catch her name but she was amazing!) still turned up and gave us an amazing and exclusive experience Many other companies would cancel especially in this cold weather but she turned up and gave it her all! She was an excellent actress, and the stories were as interesting as they were spooky and she added a perfect amount of humour into her performance too! She never broke character once and the walk itself is brilliant to see all of Keswick town centre - especially nice with Christmas lights but I imagine beautiful in spring, summer and autumn too! I would say this is perfect for the whole family and the walk is easily accessible and I’m sure can be accommodated for people with limited mobility! I couldn’t rave about this experience enough, 5 stars and we will definitely do it again!

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.

The Lady is certainly a very different take on the typical ghost tours you may have come to expect from the likes of York etc; one person delivering the entertainment and stories while pulling it off to a fairly large group of people is a very impressive feat.
If you are a horror buff, interested in ghost stories or just appreciate a walk around Keswick guided by a very talented person, definitely book this! Worth the money and a great laugh... until the spooky bits set in!

A splendid way to spend 90 minutes as the sun sets in Keswick. Local actor and storyteller 'The Lady' kept ny party and I entertained with tales of hauntings and visitations as we strolled around Keswick on Monday evening. Inspected with references to her character's nefarious past and her late husbands were a super mixture of local tales, information, super natural happenings and witty quips. A throughly good evening.

On a damp Saturday night, with much gusto and enthusiasm, ‘the lady’ entertained us with spooky stories, good humour and modern day musings for 90 + minuutes.
Pay attention, let your mind run wild, let her character to take you back in time and you won’t be disappointed. Plus it was a nice change from ‘the usual’ Keswick has to offer,

We were looking for something to do on a cold November evening and came across this tour. Not quite sure what to expect but as soon as “The Lady” appeared at Moot Hall we knew this would be something different. This is a theatre performance telling tales of a spooky nature based on Keswick’s past characters and events. The town is naturally atmospheric at night whichThe Lady amplified with her performance when telling her tales. Our son has learning disabilities and really enjoyed the walk, tales and humorous interactions along the way. We loved it and were pleased to support the arts in spooky Keswick.

The Lady, our host, gathers her audience around her with cheer and chatter that is in keeping with her character, which she maintains for the entire tour around the glorious town of Keswick. She never breaks from it despite the inevitable outside incidences that may befuddle other performers. Always ready with a quip, joke or anecdote she seamlessly moves from tale to tale, always careful to keep her audience engaged. Very enjoyable!

What an absolutely amazing experience! Not only did we get some great stories about the ghosts and ghouls of Keswick, but the way they were told.... it was like having your own personal theatre performance! My children aged 10 were enthralled all the time! You HAVE to experience it. I'll be rebooking for October!
