Possible, Early Draft Ghost Walks for 2020
Friday, October 16 to Friday, October 30 Walks Nightly at 6:30; 7:15 and 8:00 pm. NO SUNDAYS |
Here's what you need to know:
A great way to celebrate Halloween is with a family Ghost Walk. Take an eerie walk back into Olde Oakville of the 1800`s. Be guided by a character from the past who could be a mayor, merchant, ship captain or a Chisholm relative. Each ghost leader shares his or her life and you will also meet other ghosts along the way. Interact with the spirits.
Walks last for 1 hour. Refreshments and discussions follow.
Walks require the ability to walk about 12 blocks. Walks are conducted in English. Group bookings are for ten (10) or more people. Other language groups with their own interpreter, may book as a group. Provide name and contact details of the language interpreter. We do have a French ghost to lead a few French group walks. This must be booked well in advance and mention "French Group Booking".
individuals and groups with mobility, language or other issues must contact us well in advance. We can then discuss whether the special needs can be accommodated.
Groups are usually 20 participants or smaller. Two groups may go out at the same time.
Light refreshments and discussion are included after the walk. People with food allergies should use their own discretion before enjoying provided refreshments.
