About the event

Old Thorne Workhouse - Paranormal Investigation
Tickets - £28 each or 2 for £50

The Thorne Workhouse, built in 1838 in South Yorkshire, is a site where history and the paranormal intertwine. Originally constructed to house 200 impoverished individuals, it served as a refuge for the elderly, infirm, and orphaned children, often under harsh and unforgiving conditions. Many who passed away were buried in unmarked graves, leaving behind a sombre legacy. During World War II, the building was repurposed for military use, and by 1944, it became home to the Thorne Sea Cadets, who continue to operate there today.

The workhouse’s grim past has given rise to numerous reports of unexplained activity. Witnesses have described shadowy figures, disembodied footsteps, and chilling cries that seem to echo through the old corridors. One of the most notable legends is that of the “Grey Lady,” thought to be a former nurse who is often seen near the infirmary. Paranormal investigators frequently report cold spots, unaccountable noises, and disturbances with objects.

We are excited to explore this historic and eerie site and bring customers along to experience its mysteries first hand. With its haunting atmosphere and rich history, the Thorne Workhouse offers a unique opportunity to investigate a place where the past truly lingers.
