Family Friendly Frightful Faversham

We don't think that the grownups should have all the Hallowe'en fun.
So join us for some family-friendly Hallowe’en fun! Who knew that Faversham is so spooky? This guided (age appropriate) ghost walk is especially for under-10s and their families. Meet at the Visitor Information Centre for a 4.30 pm departure – we will walk for no more than an hour.

– We invite you to dress up in your spookiest best!!

Places MUST be pre-booked - either online here: https://favershamsociety.org/etn/family-friendly-frightful-faversham/

or in person at the Visitor Information Centre (12 Market Place)

£1 per head - adult or child

** Update** **Full details**

We're so glad that this post has had such an amazing reaction! Sorry to tease, but we wanted to be sure we were all set to take bookings before unveiling the details 😀

The season of lengthening shadows is with us once again and our Ghostbuster General has been dusting off his walking clothes, communing with his other-worldly informants and is ready for a fresh season of Frightful Faversham guided walks. Are you brave enough to join him? We all know that Faversham has its fair share of well-known spooky stories … but it’s the ones that almost didn’t get told that will really make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Dates are:
Saturday 31st October 6pm
Monday 2nd November 6.30 pm
Wednesday 4th November 7pm
Tuesday 10th November 6.30 pm
Thursday 12th November 7pm

Please head over to our website for full details (prices, meet-point, etc) and to book. Bookings can also be taken in person at the Visitor Information Centre, 12 Market Place.

The end of October sees the close of our Saturday morning 'Walking with History' guided walks season - and luckily for us, there are five Saturdays in October this year - a relatively unusual occurrance! So don't let these final opportunities to join us pass you by.

We depart form the Visitor Information Centre at 10.30 am on Saturdays 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st. There is no need to pre-book - just arrive in good time to pay at the desk before departure - cash and cards accepted. £5 adults, £3 children, no charge for Faversham Society members.
And - this Saturday's weather is looking perfect!

On this day in Faversham history ...

On Monday 29th September 1645, three women were executed in the centre of Faversham. During the preceding week, they had all been put on trial and found guilty of witchcraft by the Mayor and Jurats. The first to be tried was Joane Williford; she confessed, having been thrown into water, and offered the names of the three others. The following day, Thursday 25th, Joan Cariden was examined twice, as was Jane Hott. The next day, Elizabeth Harris was also examined before the Mayor. She also confessed and named other women including Williford, Cariden and Hott.

"Thank You for a most wonderful afternoon spent in Faversham yesterday. Our guide was truly delightful".

Thanks to Lynn for this lovely feedback.

It's that time of year when companies, clubs and societies start to think about their awaydays and outings for the following year.

If that's you ... had you thought of a visit to Faversham? We can offer a bespoke guided town walk together with, if you would like, assistance with planning a full day here.

In 2026 we have welcomed groups from across the home counties, ranging in size from 10 to full coaches of 52. We can meet you or drop you off at your chosen lunch venue and design an itinerary to match any special interests.

Just get in touch and we can take it from there: [email protected]

There's a saying that the number 7 is unlucky - but here at 'Walking with History' Faversham guided walks, we like to go against the grain!

There are, luckily, seven more opportunities to take a Saturday morning guided town walk with us: weekly at 10.30am from Saturday 19th September until Saturday 31st October (meet at the Visitor Information Centre, 12 Market Place. No need to pre-book - just arrive with sufficient time to pay at the desk and be ready for a 10.30 departure).

Join the 650+ people who have walked with us this year, both visitors and locals alike. You're bound to go home having learned something new!
