Creepy Carmarthen - The Spooky Town Tour
Carmarthen.
Every Wednesday night at 7.30 (Extra tours by arrangement). Meet on the Guildhall steps - tour takes approximately 90 minutes. Take a trip through Carmarthen's creepy past and meet murders and their victims. Visit the sites of bygone executions. Discover the dark secret of the town's greatest hero and find out where the ghosts walk! All tours are given a unique magical twist and include experiments in mind-reading which you may be invited to take part in! We will not be walking all the time but stopping off to hear spooky stories from days gone by, and visiting the town's Victorian Police Station within the walls of the ancient castle and prison. Suitable for wheelchair users and for older children - but not for the faint-hearted! £7 per adult, children and OAPs £5.
