In Farnham, you do not walk alone

28 Nov, 2023

Sophie Austin's "F for Farnham" is an immersive, self-guided audio story walk that investigates Farnham’s most haunted locales in Surrey. The audio walk delves into local folklore, evoking the lesser-known stories of ghosts trapped within Farnham's history, using narratives voiced by locals. Users are guided around town, invited to explore the locations while listening to the haunting stories for an alternative experience.
