Ghost Tours – The Ropery Complex

2nd October - 7th November 2026
The Historic Dockyard Chatham

Step into the shadows of the Historic Dockyard Chatham on a torch-lit ghost tour that takes you far beyond the everyday visitor experience.

These exclusive after-dark tours uncover eerie tales and chilling truths from the Dockyard’s past, blending true accounts of historic deaths with spine-tingling stories shared by Dockyard workers through the years.

Our experienced guides will lead you through the towering Ropery buildings, where centuries of history have left behind unsettling echoes. Discover true encounters involving the mischievous Bobbin Boys (said to still play tricks on today’s Ropemakers) and listen for the phantom hoofbeats of spectral horses long after the workday has ended. From the quiet depths of the Spinning Rooms to the shadowy corridors, you will explore whether the ghostly women of the Ropery are still weaving their stories, long after the heavy machinery has fallen silent.
