Frequently Asked Questions

Do you run the tours all year?

Yes we run the Ghost Tours every Monday,Wednesday and Thursday night of the year. In fact the only three things that will make us postspone a tour are a Nuclear Holocaust, Natural Disaster, Death (Then again this one might not stop Mr Dreadful from turning up).

Do I have to book to come on one of the public tours?

No you don't have to book a place on one of our public tours you just turn up pay and off we go.

Do I have to book for a private tour?

As we run our private tours on a different night to our public tours we do ask you to contact us for a booking. This will mean that your tour is exculsive to your company/group only. We usually run our private tours on a Tuesday or Thursday night, but if you can't make either of those two nights and still want one we can set a date of your choosing as long as it isn't already booked or on a public tour night.

If I book a private tour are the prices different to your public tours?

No at the moment we have no intention charging more for our private tours. The prices are the same as our public tours.

Is there a minimum number needed for a private tour?

Yes we ask that you have a minimum of 5 people for a private tour. The maximum number for a private tour is 45. We also need to know if there will be children attending the tour as we end in a pub that lets children in their dinning room where we finish off the stories of the pub and tour.

Is the tour like Most Haunted on TV?

No, The Steel City Ghost Tour is a walking tour that visits the places where ghostly going on happen. All of the building on the tour are used and owned by either companies or private individuals so we can not enter them. In saying that though if you take our private tour we do end in the most haunted building in the city of Sheffield which is a public house called "The Old Queens Head" in the Sheffield bus station where we are welcomed by the staff and the land lady.

Is the start of the tour easy to get to by public transport?

The tour starts from the Sheffield Town Hall steps located at the top of "Far Gate". The tours start is on number of major bus route that stop 50 metres away and the cathedral tram stop which is 75 metres away.
