F for Farnham – Ghosts at the Castle

F for Farnham – Ghosts at the Castle

Join us at Farnham Castle for a haunting walkabout with writer and director Sophie Austin.

F for Farnham is a self-guided audio story walk which takes you on a ghostly journey around Farnham, Surrey’s most haunted town.

Sophie will launch four new ghost stories at Farnham Castle for the Farnham Literary Festival. Based on historical events and real experiences, these stories give voice to those who died long ago but can still be heard whispering within the walls of Farnham Castle.

Take a deep breath
And listen
Let the voices from the past meet you in your present.
Here in Farnham, you do not walk alone.

Please note:

For this event you will need a fully charged smartphone and headphones.
There are steep steps and unpredictable surfaces, this walk is not accessible for wheelchair users.
Walks will go ahead whatever the weather, please dress appropriately.
Not for the very young or faint of heart.

Bridging History

The Bridging History series tells the tale of the colonisation and settlement of Dubbo, on Wiradjuri Country in Central West NSW Australia, through built infrastructure that changed the Wambuul Macquarie River forever. The bridges cross water and land with a much older story to tell. Today, you can cross all three bridge sites by walking, running or cycling the Tracker Riley Cycleway that loops around the river.
