A ghost walk of Georgian Liverpool & St James’ Necropolis, The Secret Garden Cemetery Shivers Tour.

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 to Liverpool’s past, and stitches together the beginning middle and end, where death completes us all.

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…

We will also find hope in the darkness and discover pioneers that really did carve out a legacy giving love life and friendship to the story of Liverpool’s great & good.

I found the tour to be both informative and entertaining. There was just the right amount of audience participation involved, which everyone readily took part in. Chilla Black and Indiana Bones were our guides for the tour and they were so entertaining, with their historical (and at times, hysterical) story telling. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone looking to do something out of the ordinary, for a couple of hours, in Liverpool City centre. The tour finishes with enough time to down a few drinks in the pub, too. Can't wait to attend again with family in the new year. Special thanks to Lucy for supporting our charity, too! Much appreciated and so very kind of you. x

My dad and I have been on two previous Shiverpool tours, and both were incredibly entertaining, thanks to the talented guides. Tonight was no exception. Chiller Black and Indiana Bones are amazing storytellers who know exactly how to keep the crowd engaged. From playfully interacting with passersby and chanting “GREEN DEMON” at the crosswalk to narrating ghost stories in graveyards with spooky sound effects, they really know how to create a thrilling atmosphere. We had a fantastic evening, and my dad absolutely loved it. I highly recommend this experience to anyone! Fun fact: A friend of mine, who used to work as a guide for Shiverpool, actually met his wife on one of the tours!

What can I say about the shiverpool experience that has not been said before. We took our group of friends and social group on a shiverpool guided walking tour to St James secret Gardens tour. I can honestly say that all of our group had a fantastic time. We met our guide chiller black (Lucy) outside the philharmonic pub and from the very start had all of the group in stitches. Lucy involved all of the group and was very very funny. Even passers-by were tormented in a good way as they walk passed. Lucy was very good in her character telling us about all of the passed stories of the various buildings that we passed on our walk. Her knowledge of the surrounding area was amazing and in made a very entertaining and enjoyable journey on our way to the garden. And then we met Will who added another element to the evening performance. They both did a perfect job and were very enthusiastic and entertaining. If you are looking for an different, entertaining and unusual tour with knowledgeable guides, this is it. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely fabulous. The tour guides were very knowledgable and made the whole experience very spooky and unnerving with a good shot of humour thrown in.
