ABOUT THE SUN PUB IN HITCHIN
We’ve been invited back to host a ghost hunt at this amazing building, steeped in history and numerous accounts of spirit activity from both staff and guests!
Extract taken from Hertslive…….
“With not just one ghost said to be haunting this Hitchin hotel, the stories and sightings vary suggesting that there could be a number of spirits lurking.
If you think you can handle it, ask to stay in room 10. It is said that a women reportedly makes herself known in this room.
One man woke to the feeling of a woman laying across his face trying to suffocate him, he was so scared that he ran out of the hotel unable to stay the night and didn’t return until the next day.
HISTORY
In the 1800s, Lord Havisham committed suicide in the hotel due to his large gambling debts and is said to still haunt the building.
STAFF WHO HAVE WORKED THERE
There have been reports by staff members who claim to have witnessed a monk walk across to the bar and help himself to a drink.”
GHOSTLY GATHERINGS ENCOUNTERS
On my walk round a few years ago, I did encounter the lady in one of the rooms, laughing (possibly under the influence!). I saw a huge orb in one of the en suite bathrooms, shoot across the room and had a really strong feeling of someone with me when I entered the ballroom. In the bar, adjacent to the ballroom, I believe there to be a spirit of a young boy.
A small groups of us were able to take part in an investigation for halloween a few years ago and had some amazing activity, both in room 10 and the ballroom. The Ouija board was so active and we believe it to be the spirit of a gentleman who didn’t want his “lady” speaking to other men!

In a nutshell, a sniff-ari is a walk where your dog is permitted – and encouraged – to explore his environment with his nose. It’s an on-lead exploration
You let your dog set the pace and the direction. We encourage you to allow them to explore their environment and what interests them. We’ve then dropped our Easter Eggs along the way to keep the humans entertained!
Benefits of a sniff-ari
- ✨️ Helps a dog decompress
- ✨️ Helps them make their own decisions
- ✨️ Helps relieve boredom
- ✨️ Builds confidence
- ✨️ Uses their natural abilities to make sense of their world through scent
- ✨️ Leads to a more optimistic and content dog

🌳 A FREE MAZE & GARDEN CENTRE TO VISIT- 💥AN IDEA FOR A DAY OUT BY WHATSUP BEDFORDSHIRE
Saturday 19 April 2025
👀 A FREE A- MAZ-ING HIDDEN GEM IN BEDFORDSHIRE at Roxton Garden Centre! A maze that is free to go too, kids & adults will love it...... if you can find it that is!
🤔SO WHERE IS IT?
This FREE MAZE is located at the wonderful Roxton Garden Centre in Bedfordshire. When you enter the car park you will not see any signposts for it. As you go in the car park facing the garden centre turn right, then turn left as if you are heading for a dead end, it may seem like you are heading for the delivery entrance but there you will see trees on your right and a sign in front of you 'Roxton Maze'.
The maze is located next to the garden centre in a spacious field with a few benches to sit on. At the moment it is being trimmed back due to some hanging branches, we had to duck and dive a few times but it added to all the fun we had.
♿️ IS THE MAZE SUITABLE FOR PUSHCHAIRS OR WHEELCHAIRS?
I would say it is NOT suitable as there are branches, some on the floor and hanging low, some spaces may not be big enough to venture through and also the surface may not be suitable in my personal opinion. It can get muddy too.
🔓WHEN IS THE MAZE OPEN?
The Maze is open the same time when the Garden Centre is open. The details are below.
Please beware they may close the maze at anytime due to maintenance, so it maybe a good idea to contact them before planning your trip to avoid disappointment.
🌺 THE GARDEN CENTRE
The garden centre is wheelchair friendly and dog friendly. You can buy things from plants, to clothes, to toys. Definitely worth a look!
☕️ THE CAFE
The cafe has hot and cold food and drink options at reasonable prices. There is a kids menu and an indoor & outdoor space with unmbrellas to sit in the sun and relax amongst the outdoor flower section of the Garden Centre. Dogs are allowed but they are not allowed in the main restaurant area. Just ask staff if you are not sure, they will be happy to help. They do a great carvery on a Sunday, you may need to book for this as it can get quite busy serving between 11:30 - 3:30pm.

“With not just one ghost said to be haunting this Hitchin hotel, the stories and sightings vary suggesting that there could be a number of spirits lurking.
😱 ROOM 10
If you think you can handle it, ask to stay in room 10. It is said that a women reportedly makes herself known in this room.
One man woke to the feeling of a woman laying across his face trying to suffocate him, he was so scared that he ran out of the hotel unable to stay the night and didn’t return until the next day.
🙀 LORD HAVISHAM.
In the 1800s, Lord Havisham committed suicide in the hotel due to his large gambling debts and is said to still haunt the building.
💀 THE MONK
There have been reports by staff members who claim to have witnessed a monk walk across to the bar and help himself to a drink.”

WHAT WE EXPERIENCED....
On my walk round a few years ago, I did encounter the lady in one of the rooms, laughing (possibly under the influence!). I saw a huge orb in one of the en suite bathrooms, shoot across the room and had a really strong feeling of someone with me when I entered the ballroom. In the bar, adjacent to the ballroom, I believe there to be a spirit of a young boy.
A small groups of us were able to take part in an investigation for halloween a few years ago and had some amazing activity, both in room 10 and the ballroom. The Ouija board was so active and we believe it to be the spirit of a gentleman who didn’t want his “lady” speaking to other men!
🌚 AT THE END IF THE NIGHT
At the end of the night you’ll be given the opportunity to use our equipment and go off on your own to investigate. Izzy, our tarot card reader, will be available all night, at an additional cost.We intend to finish at midnight.
