Explore the Haunted Tunnels and Chambers of Fort Widley
Perched atop Portsdown Hill, Fort Widley is a Victorian military fort with a long and chilling history.

We offer two ways to book online. Either using our deposit option, or paying in full.
Deposit option
We offer a £20 per person deposit option on most of our events priced over £30. If you choose this option, this payment will hold your place(s) for you.
You will then be asked to pay your final balance four weeks before your event. Look out for our reminder emails sent 5 weeks before, and again on the due date giving you a link to your account to make payment. You pay by logging into your account that you will create with this booking.
You must remember a deposit payment is just a holding payment of those places. To confirm your booking, you must make the balance payment on time. If you fail to make the payment you may be at risk of losing the places held and the deposit paid.
If your chosen event is taking place in less than 30 days – our deposit option is unavailable sorry.
Full Payment
A full payment option will guarantee your booking right away. You will receive an email firstly saying your booking is processing, and once we have transferred your names to our guest list, we will send a second email letting you know your booking has been confirmed.
All our events are ticketless as we take guests names at the time of booking. All we ask is that each guest signs in on arrival against their names to gain access.
We will email you, the main booker, with all your event details usually 7 – 5 days before your event. This will confirm the names we have on the guest list for your party, as well as giving you parking directions, listing what basics you need to bring with you, and confirming addresses and times etc…
We will also provide to you an emergency contact number should there be any issues finding us, or you are running late.
