An exploration of Liverpool's Old Necropolis of St James' Cemetery Gardens...
Promenade street theatre and storytelling at its finest and most entertaining.
A crucible of Contrasts, Ghosts and Ghoulish creatures, History and Heritage Magic and Medicine, Squalour and Splendor, A most Gothic and glorious setting- The Liverpool Secret Garden Cemetery Tour really has it all...
A unique gaze into the lives of others, those now, on the other side. Immersed within an enchanted garden, formerly the Necropolis of Liverpool, City of the Dead, St James' Cemetery Gardens.
Through the prism of our signature expert storytelling and award-winning guiding skills Shiverpool will transport you on a spine-tingling Gothic odyssey through the layers of time and place where spooky spirits dance and storytellers dream & weave their tales in the pale moonlight, a journey you are unlikely to forget...
An experience that embraces history & folklore, ghostly ghoulish fables, the gruesome chapters of Victorian Public Health and the innovations there in, The Cemetery Shivers Tour explores and dissects the grim narrative of the darker side of Liverpool's past, and stitches together the beginning middle and end, where death completes us all. That last patch of untouched snow that no-one can report back on... Or so they say!
This experience also explores our attitudes to death and dying - hark dear creatures, It is Death that makes life worth living! We will also find hope in the darkness and discover pioneers that really did carve out a legacy that gave love life and friendship to the story of Liverpool's great and good.
Dear Fearless Friends,
We're going to hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Begin your Journey outside Liverpool’s most famously haunted hostelry The Philharmonic Pub, surrounded by the former hospitals, asylums, workhouses and children’s homes once served by the Necropolis. View the surrounding neighbourhood that envelops the Dormitory of the Dead, St James’ Cemetery.
Enter Liverpool’s Père Lachaise, City of the Dead, St James’ Secret Garden Cemetery…
Listen to your guide masterfully weave ghostly tales and gruesome fables, medical accounts of the realities of the many Public Health crisis experienced by the city’s residents all swept up in the melancholy moods that pass through this great green lung…
Absorb Liverpool’s awe-inspiring Anglican Cathedral “head and shoulders of the City” from the underbelly of this sea soaked sanctuary, arguably one of the most spectre-acular vantage points!
Experience the otherworldly soul of St. James’ Cemetery Gardens after dark, where nearly 58,000 of Liverpool’s great and good are entombed.
Visit the venerable Chalybeate spring- where Liverpool’s only remaining natural spa waters flow from the rock bed of the town – believed to possess enlivening healing properties, still enjoyed by the residents to this day.
Marvel at the impressive mausoleums and shrines including William Huskisson- the first victim to fall beneath the grinding might of a locomotive train- whose ghoulish presence still haunts his final resting place…
Have a renewed vigour for life and the living, for it is when we are surrounded by the dead, it is thus that we can feel most alive!
