A prominent Merseyside heritage tourism operator has unveiled a specialised summer itinerary featuring midday excursions, discounted weekday rates, and extended twilight history walks across the city’s historical landmarks.
Shiverpool’s upcoming seasonal program introduces a series of interactive, 90-minute educational performances designed to explore the architectural history and urban legends of the region.
The updated schedule features a variety of specific daytime and evening schedules designed to explore local folklore and urban history, running throughout the mid-summer holiday period.
The organisation’s August calendar includes a structured tier of promotional ticketing options.
These include the mid-week Wicked Wednesdays & Sunday Service Specials throughout August. Under this framework, the Auld City and Dead House Wicked Wednesday is priced at £13, while the Hope Street Shivers Sunday Special is also available for £13.
Additionally, budget-conscious weekend visitors can access the £10 Saturday Cemetery Shivers Specials.
Historical Tourism Provider Unveils Daytime Cemetery Garden Excursions
The expansion of the summer itinerary introduces daytime alternative heritage walks inside one of the city’s most famous Victorian burial grounds.
Operating under the theme “We Believe the Natural is rather Super”, the Legendary Springs, Graveyard Things and Fluttering Wings tour will run at 2 pm on 22nd & 29th August.
This specific daytime excursion provides a limited-edition opportunity to explore the historical landscape of St James’ Cemetery Garden during daylight hours, shifting focus toward the botanical history and natural springs situated within the sunken canyon.
To encourage advanced bookings, the independent operator has launched several digital promotions across their core weekend routes.
Visitors who can book direct utilise a 20% discount code SHIVER valid for: The Hope Street Shivers & Auld City and Dead House Tour (Thurs to Sat).
Customers can also select an Ultimate Ticket & get 20% off all the super spooky stuff too!
This specific code is valid for Adult, Concession, Family & Ultimate Tickets on peak time shows only, running Thursday through to Saturday.
Extended Evening Routes to Feature Local Wildlife Sightings in Protected Habitats
The twilight excursions will integrate local environmental observations within the historical narrative, capitalising on the unique ecosystem of the sunken garden.
Each Hope Street Tour in August will include an optional 30-minute extended tour of St James’ Garden, The ‘Dormitory of the Dead’, where audiences can experience unforgettable natural phenomena; our very own wild colony of bats that often flutter about our lantern lights.
This addition allows ticket holders to observe nocturnal wildlife within the protected urban conservation site under the guidance of local experts.
The interactive experiences also include specialised seasonal items that can be purchased in advance alongside standard admission.
The operator provides merchandise for treats that glow in the dark and sparkle in the sunshine.
