Accessibility on the walk
The Stratford Ghost Walk follows public pavements and streets around the town centre. Surfaces are mostly paved but may be uneven in places, and routes can include kerbs, slopes and occasional cobbles.
We aim to keep the walk as accessible as reasonably possible and will adapt the route where we can for wheelchair users and guests with limited mobility. If you or someone in your party uses a wheelchair, mobility aid or pram/buggy, please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
Some viewpoints may have restricted access or be more challenging in poor weather. If you are unsure whether the walk is suitable for you, contact us and we will be happy to advise.

What to wear and bring
The walk takes place outdoors in all but the very worst weather, and it can feel cooler by the river after dark.
Please wear comfortable footwear suitable for walking and standing on pavements and uneven ground. Bring warm layers, waterproofs and umbrellas according to the forecast.
A small torch or phone light can be helpful on darker evenings, though we also make use of the town’s street lighting. For fuller information on accessibility and safety, please see the About The Stratford Ghost Walk and Terms & Conditions pages.
