About the event
When darkness falls over Birmingham’s canals, the city’s deadliest stories begin to surface.
Board our ghost cruise for an immersive journey into the violence, tragedy and unexplained history hidden along the waterways.
Based on documented events, local legends and evidence-based accounts, the experience combines live guided storytelling with theatrical performances, special effects and interactive encounters.
Hear chilling tales of murder, drowning and fatal accidents, including the legend of the Towpath Ripper and other sinister figures said to have stalked Birmingham’s canal network.
Discover what happened to those who entered the water and never returned, and the stories of those whose deaths may not have been accidental.
As the boat moves through the darkness, the boundary between history, legend and reality will begin to disappear.
