An image of Beresford House, with a ghostly spirit escaping

Discover the darker side of St Helier this October, with a spine-tingling walking tour from Tall Tales followed by a delicious curry supper at historic Beresford House.

This October, venture beyond the familiar streets of St Helier and uncover the stories that lie beneath the surface. From grim secrets to ghostly encounters, Tall Tales invites you to explore the town’s darker history on a walking tour led by founder Toby, before the evening concludes with good food and warm hospitality here at Beresford House.

Dark histories and ghostly tales

St Helier has a fascinating past, but not every story is a happy one. Join Toby from Tall Tales for an atmospheric journey through the town, discovering sinister stories, unsettling secrets and tales from another time.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, a lover of local folklore or simply looking for something different to do this October, this guided walk offers a fresh perspective on the streets you thought you knew.

From spooky streets to a warming supper

Once the walking tour draws to a close, the evening continues at Beresford House, where we'll be welcoming guests for a delicious curry supper in one of our cosy private rooms.

Housed in a historic Victorian building that was once a grand gentlemen's club, Beresford House is a fitting setting to round off an evening of local history and storytelling. Our chefs will prepare a freshly cooked curry main course, accompanied by a drink of your choice and a delicious dessert.

It's an evening designed to bring people together over fascinating stories and comforting food… Although, after hearing some of St Helier's darker tales, you may find yourself looking over your shoulder when the lights grow dim!
