Newport Ghost Walk

About this event

Discover the hidden side of Newport on a guided ghost walk exploring the city's long history, local folklore and reports of the unexplained. From old market routes to historic streets marked by conflict, industry and superstition, Newport provides an atmospheric setting for an evening of intriguing stories and discovery. Guided by an Extours host, you'll hear researched accounts of unusual events, lingering legends and ghostly encounters said to have unfolded across the city over the centuries. Guests may also choose to take part in optional paranormal investigation using EMF meters, dowsing rods and other recognised tools — or simply enjoy the stories and atmosphere as the walk unfolds. We avoid gimmicks and jump scares; we aim to intrigue, not terrify, by exploring the unanswered mysteries woven into Newport's past. Age Guidance – Early walks are family-friendly and open to under-16s (recommended age 8+). – Later evening walks are 16+ to offer an adults-only experience. – Well-behaved dogs are welcome on all walks. Weather Walks run in most conditions. If severe weather makes the event unsafe, we will postpone and offer an alternative date. Thoughtful, engaging and rooted in local history, the Newport Ghost Walk offers a memorable way to uncover the lesser-known stories and mysteries that linger in this historic Welsh city.
