👻 Ready for a night of ghost hunting in one of Hitchin’s most fascinating historic buildings?
Join Ghostly Gatherings for a paranormal investigation at The British Schools Museum on Saturday 19th September 2026. This will be their third visit to the museum – and if previous experiences are anything to go by, it promises to be a seriously spine-tingling evening.

During an initial walkround back in 2019, the organiser reports witnessing a school mistress dressed in a tweed two-piece in one of the girls’ classrooms, a shadow figure at the end of the upstairs corridor, and hearing a baby crying in the headmaster’s living quarters. There were also EMF readings and trigger objects, including cat balls, being activated.
🕰 EVENT DETAILS

Disabled toilets are available within the conservatory.
