Supper and ghost hunt at The Sun Hotel. January 24th 2026

We have been summoned back… to a building where the walls remember, where laughter and sorrow linger, and where the spirits of centuries refuse to rest. This historic hotel in Hitchin is steeped in darkness, with countless reports of ghostly activity from staff, guests, and all who dare to walk its halls.

HertsLive once revealed chilling accounts of its hauntings:

“With not just one ghost said to linger here, the hotel seems to harbour many. Room 10 is whispered to be the most haunted—where a woman makes her presence known. One man awoke to the horrifying sensation of her pressing down upon his face, suffocating him. He fled in terror, unable to remain until daylight. In the 1800s, Lord Havisham, crushed by gambling debts, ended his life within these walls… but his restless spirit is said to wander still. Staff have even claimed to see a hooded monk drift toward the bar and pour himself a drink.”

My own encounter was no less unsettling. In one room, I heard the eerie laughter of a woman lingering in the air. In an en-suite bathroom, I watched a glowing orb shoot across the room. In the ballroom, the atmosphere turned heavy—an invisible presence pressing close. And in the bar beside it, I felt the sorrow of a young boy’s spirit, watching, waiting.

Years ago, during a Halloween investigation, our group experienced phenomena that chilled us to the bone. Room 10 and the ballroom erupted with activity—the Ouija board so restless we could scarcely keep up. We believe we reached a jealous spirit, a man fiercely guarding his “lady” from others even in death.

Now, we return… and you are invited to walk beside us into the shadows.

🕖 Arrival: 7:00 pm

🍽️ Dinner: 7:30 pm (please choose your meal when booking)

The question is—will you join us in the darkness, and face those who never left?

Fish and chips

Chicken in a basket

Butternut 

Our investigations will begin at 9:00 pm, after we’ve introduced you to the equipment that will help us connect with the spirits. Before we step into the shadows, we’ll place a protection prayer to ensure a safe passage through the night.

As the witching hour approaches, you’ll have the chance to take our equipment into your own hands and wander the darkened rooms alone—seeking answers from those who linger in the unseen.

Throughout the night, Izzy, our gifted tarot reader, will be available for personal readings (additional cost).

We intend to close our vigil at midnight.
