Come join Becki from Ghosts & Giggles, & her team for a night of seeking the ghostly monks of Blackfriars Priory. Situated in the heart of Gloucester City Centre, this once magnificent priory has many secrets to tell. Founded in 1239 on a site that had once been part of a Norman castle. The Black Friars were of the Dominican order founded in 1217 by St Dominic to fight the twin evils of 'heresy and doubt'.
A cemetery was discovered in 1991 and was found to also have women and children buried there have, indicating that Blackfriars may have been operating as a hospital or hospice for the families of benefactors.
Discover the story of the mysterious “monk’s skull”, found in the nave with a straight line across the forehead.
Join us to see the Friars who never left, footsteps heard in the night, dark figures seen out of the corner of your eyes, unexplained noises & doors locking on their own.
